SAO PAULO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA; MANUEL BARRUECO; JOSE STANECK; OSESP ENSEMBLE - VILLA-LOBOS: GUITAR CONCERTO; SEXTETO MISTICO; HARMONICA CONCERTO

The concertos and chamber works on this album show Villa-Lobos's unceasing enthusiasm for new colors 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 instrument's 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 composer's extraordinary gift for seductive lyricism.
