CD Reviews

Good recording of rarely-heard works

(4 out of 5 stars)

"These works by Villa-Lobos are little-known, and rarely-performed. With one exception, the works on the disc are all a cappella. And while the St. Sebastian Mass (Missa Sao Sebastiao) is relatively austere, all the music on the disc is well-performed, and sounds simply beautiful.I must point out, however, the one work for chorus and orchestra, the Magnificat-Alleluia that closes the disc. This is one of the most beautiful works I have ever heard, and it receives an incredible performance: even though it runs just seven minutes, it alone is worth the price of the entire disc. I definitely recommend this to fans of Villa-Lobos."
