Villa-Lobos: Complete Symphonies [6 CDs]

Heitor Villa-Lobos has been described as ‘the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music. Every aspect of Villa-Lobos’s remarkable inspiration is represented in these works, with Brazilian national rhythms and extremes of ambition in terms of scale and dramatic content, alongside neo-Classical transparency and lyrical charm. These critically acclaimed performances from Sao Paulo are both idiomatic and expertly played.
