About
Heitor Villa-Lobos has become established as the best-known South American composer of all time, but while his orchestral works, Chorôs and Bachianas brasileiras are justly famous and widely recorded, his three Violin Sonatas are barely extant in the catalogues.
We have had a great deal of success in recent years with releases including Villa-Lobos’s complete symphonies (8506039) from the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra conducted by Isaac Karabtchevsky, as well as exploring rarities such as those to be found in guitarist Andrea Bissoli’s three-volume series The Guitar Manuscripts (8503289). This excellent recording of the Violin Sonatas therefore joins a stream of highly collectable Villa-Lobos releases that is already in full flow.
Violinist Emmanuele Baldini has from an early age garnered prizes from countless international competitions, and has performed as a soloist or recitalist across the globe. He has recorded the three violin sonatas of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (8574297), as well as violin sonatas by Leopoldo Miguez and Glauco Velásquez (8574118) in which ‘Baldini’s playing is radiant and idiomatic’ (The WholeNote).
This new release is the latest in our ‘Music of Brazil’ series, co-produced with the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to promote music by Brazilian composers dating back to the 18th century. Previous releases included Villa-Lobos’s Guitar and Harmonica Concertos (8574018), and a collection of choral transcriptions (8574286).
Emmanuele Baldini garnered prizes from countless international competitions, and has performed as a soloist or recitalist across the globe. Following a highly successful career as a violinist, Baldini has embarked on new musical ventures as a conductor. He founded the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo (OSESP) Quartet, and has collaborated with internationally renowned artists. Since 2005, Baldini has been concertmaster of the OSESP.
Brazilian pianist Pablo Rossi won the first Nelson Freire National Competition for New Brazilian talents in 2003. He has won numerous competitions and has given more than 80 recitals as a member of the Keyboard Charitable Trust. He has performed as a soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of the Kremlin, the Chamber Orchestra of Auvergne, the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, the Symphony Orchestra of Kirov and the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, among others.
