Tuneful, exotic, brilliant - the vocal music of Heitor Villa-Lobos encaptures the spirit of Brazil. This recital was recorded in 1972/3 and issued on 3 LP’s, one of which, including the Bachiana Brasileira, won the Grand Prix du Disque in 1973, and was also highly praised by the composer’s widow.
“This new edition of the recordings with Anna Maria Bondi provides an extraordinary and impressive interpretation of the vocal works of Villa-Lobos and constitutes a remarkable record.”
