About

Of all the volumes in this series, the current one presents arguably the most diverse sample of Villa-Lobos’ musical language and techniques. It contains pieces that were inspired by a variety of stimuli, ranging from children’s games, Brazilian traditional music, avant-garde techniques, and extra-musical elements.

It includes Villa-Lobos’s most important work for piano solo (the Rudepoêma) and a selection of pieces that provide a comprehensive sample of his pianistic style.

Together, they offer a detailed picture of Villa-Lobos’s exuberant musical personality.

"Sonia Rubinsky's colorful and technically shipshape interpretations are as lovingly nuanced and thoroughly idiomatic as we can desire, and they're beautifully recorded as well. In sum, this valuable addition to the Villa-Lobos discography deserves no less than the highest rating and warmest recommendation." Classics Today on Naxos 8.750008 (Vol. 5)

"Invaluable...bringing Villa-Lobos to haunting and unforgettable life." Gramophone on Naxos 8.555286 (Vol. 3)

World Première Recordings of:
- Carnaval de Pierrot (1910)
- Melodia da montanha (Serra da Piedade de Belo Horizonte) (1938)
