 Bachianas Brasileiros, selections May 28, 2008
Fine performances of selections not always heard. Sound balance not always excellent, but fine overall.
 The composer is different! June 24, 2007

This is of course an unusual relic of a dead conmposer conducting his own signature works. And with a top-notch soloist too, albeit a second-rate
orchestra. As such it has great value per se.
First, be warned (again) that this is mono. It's well miked mono, but unfortunately not well balanced, as if the orchestra was not properly placed for recording with a single mike, and sounds like a hack at the editing console has had a go at it to try and fix some of this. The results is, among other things, screeching violins.
But what an ususual mix of sound comes through all this! This is not the usual recording of any of the very familiar B. B.'s! Orchestral balances (as opposed to recorded balances ... you can tell the difference if you listen for the difference between overall sound and that of single instruments) are unusual and so is phrasing and articulation.
Highly recommended to the specialist, not so otherwise. These are fine,
if idiosyncratic, performances and if some newbee were to "imprint" on this recording, they might never enjoy a live modern performance or recording.

I was thrilled to find a CD copy of the vinyl album I bought in about 1964! I had bought another rendition of these Villa-Lobos pieces but it just didn't do it for me. De Los Angeles has a wonderful soprano and the Bachianas Brasilleiras need a great voice.

This was new music to me so I listened with an open mind. I enjoyed the fusion of Brazilian with classic.
Excellent April 7, 2005

I spotted this in a music store and bought it because I'm a fan of Villa-Lobos' compositions for guitar. Honestly, I was not familiar with the music on this disc at all. But wow, what a pleasant surprise. I downloaded it to my mp3 player last night so now I can listen to it anywhere.
