in 2005, "clássica" was released through som livre on both cd and dvd. recorded from a concert mercury gave the year before at são paulo's casa de espetáculo, the album is a sampler of bossa nova, jazz, and some of her biggest mpb hits. the record signaled a new phase for mercury, who chose independence from record companies to gain full control of her work. mercury was in london, during the july 7 bombings.
