Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This is a three-CD set that includes all of Villa-Lobos' moody Bachianas Brasileiras. The best known is the fifth, for soprano and eight cellos (well performed here), but there is a wealth hidden among the others. There are dance movements galore; the second builds to a wonderfully percussive and powerful final movement; the eighth, despite an upbeat old folk dance as its centerpiece, has a melancholic warmth that is irresistible. The flute and bassoon duet that makes up No. 6 is rich and expressive, and the solo pianist has his work cut out for him in No. 3. All of them show a use of counterpoint that is truly skillful, and these performances--the only complete, modern set, not to mention at a bargain price--bring out all of the delicacies in the music. A real find. --Robert Levine

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An excellent recording at a very decent price
An excellent recording!

First of all, for those of you who do not know Villa Lobos, the Bachianas Brasieleiras are a must. Fascinating pieces of music. as their titles implies, music works inspired by Bach... incorporating the input and influence of the brazilian culture. In addition to the cultural aspect, some pieces just sound incredible and belong to the most beautiful pieces of 20th century classical music.

As for why this version? Some of you may be tempted to purchase ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally one good recording of the complete cycle of the Bachianas Brasileiras
Finally one good recording of the complete cycle of the Bachianas Brasileiras . The recording conducted by the author was the best recording available , but Villa - Lobos wasn't a good conductor .The musicality is really good, but the orchestra sounds bad in some moments and the sound is very old.After the recordings of several conductors sometimes good sometimes bad, we have here the entire cycle very well played
Bachianas Nº 1 , for cellos , was at the beginning one homage to the Preludes And ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - American beautiful performance of Brazilian Villa-Lobos
Kenneth Schermerhorn and his Nashville Simphony Orchestra have reached a very good performance of my fellow-countryman and extraordinary composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. Their Nine Bachianas Brasileiras sound surprisingly vivid and... Brazilian. Applauses, also, for Brazilian soprano Rosana Lamosa in no.5. Four stars.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Beautiful Bargain
These discs are well recorded. And the music, itself, is stunning in its variety and complexity, all the while retaining a poetic wonderfulness. It engages the listener, but isn't so overpowering that it can't serve as good background music for dinner or studying.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brazilian Music Extraordinaire
Jose Feghali is a Brazilian pianist, and interprets this music with great artistic flair! The whole recording was a pleasant surprise, since I didn't expect a high level of playing from the Nashville Symphony. I highly recommend this recording as an especially good value for the price.
