Lobos,Heitor Villa Sa Musique Et Ses Interpretes CD

My most important manual on harmony was the map of Brazil, said Heitor Villa-Lobos. This helps to explain how the self-taught composer who bridged the gap between the classical music of Europe and urban or rural forms in popular music went on to become his country's most emblematic figure. His opus is a kaleidoscope of music ranging from pieces for guitar or piano to great orchestral ensembles where the cello takes the lion's share. This release puts on display a variety of Villa-Lobos works, performed by some of the most respected artists in the genre, including Arthur Rubinstein, Julian Bream, Laurindo Almeida, and more.
