VILLA LOBOS: The Guitar Manuscripts Vol. 2 ( Bissoli) Naxos 8. 573116

Heitor VillaLoboss mother dismissed the guitar as an instrument played by scoundrels, but his earliest surviving work, Dime perché, comes from a time when he was composing almost exclusively on this instrument. By completing his unfinished Valsa Concerto No. 2, Andrea Bissoli brings to life the subject of a notorious anecdote between Segovia and Miguel Llobet, and the Sexteto místico echoes Brazilian street band sounds, anticipating VillaLoboss new form of the mystical Choros. The intimate serenade Canção do Amor is from his soundtrack for the film Green Mansions. View album info BUY, DOWNLOAD, STREAM:
