The concertos and chamber works on this album show Villa- Lobos unceasing enthusiasm for new colours and sonorities in his music. The Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra was his last work for the instrument and written for Segovia. A cornerstone of the repertoire, it contains soaring melodies and rhythmic vitality couched in virtuosic writing. Exploring the instruments full harmonic and chromatic possibilities, the Concerto for Harmonica is also deftly orchestrated. New and daring sonic combinations are to be heard in the two chamber works demonstrating the composers extraordinary gift for seductive lyricism.
"The uniformly first rate performances by members of the São Paulo Symphony are excellently engineered, making the whole disc a joy from start to finish-a true voyage of discovery and delight." 10/10 ClassicsToday
