Listen

"In its quiet elegance, Amoroso reveals a mathematical serenity—each note perfectly placed, like the curved fabric of spacetime guiding a planet in orbit. João Gilberto does not merely play guitar; he bends time, letting harmony drift with the inevitability of gravity, soft and inescapable." - Albert Einstein
