CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Villa-Lobos's Bachiana Brasileira No. 2 remains his most popular orchestral composition, despite an oeuvre that numbers more than 1,000 pieces! It's a charming work, no doubt about it, particularly the little choo-choo train finale. The others in the set, however, are equally worth hearing; there is, in fact, some very substantial and sophisticated music in this series of nine compositions, three of which are included on this disc. If you like No. 2, you'll have no problem at all with the rest. They are, one and all, full of exotic textures, gorgeous Brazilian melodies, and the rhythms of folk dances. Both performance and sound meet the highest standards. --David Hurwitz Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsUncorrected mistakes Sheldon Lichter | 03/02/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "The music of Villa Lobos is plagued with mistakes in the printed scores and orchestral parts, perhaps one of the reasons it is not programmed more often. Great care has to be taken, when performing (and certainly when recording) this music to make sure to correct these for the best result.Unfortunately, this was not done in the case of this recording. Mistakes abound, not the fault of the performers, including wrong notes, and even a wrong instrument playing in one instance. (Horn players playing what is supposed to be a trumpet line.) Certainly someone should have caught these (especially Lopez-Cobos, who should be the last line of defensive against this). Having said that however, the pieces themselves are wonderfully evocative, and full of terrific Brazilian rhythms. The orchestra is playing terrific, but the Telarc sound robs some of the excitement out of the music." Lest the unwary... Sheldon Lichter | Eugene, OR | 02/07/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "...music-seeker be dissuaded by the "reviews" below, I would like to contribute my experience of this album, which I've had and heard for a number of years. Apart from the fine performance, which all concede, I have found this to be enchanting music, music of great imaginativeness. The glib dismissal for lack of substance or depth is yet another instance of those myriad "reviews" by people who love to see their names and ill-considered opinions in print - an opportunity so amply provided by Amazon.com. There is no accounting for taste, and we are each entitled to our own; but to inflate that taste into a pontification masked as sound musical judgment makes only mischief. Personally, I find much of this music indispensable to my music-appreciative life. Do hear it for yourself [sample the first movement of Bachianas Brasileiras 4] before turning away."
