About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Heitor Villa-Lobos had a thing for Bach and Brazil. Ostensibly self-taught, he devoured Bach's cello works as well as the popular songs and dances of his native Brazil. Both these passions become entwined in his series of nine "Bachianas Brasileiras." The Fifth is the most famous of these: a drop-dead gorgeous aria and a sexy dansa for soprano and a group of cellos. René Fleming's luscious soprano seems to have been created just for this piece. Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas leads the New World Symphony in performances that express joy of discovery. Made up of graduates of the top music schools, this youthful ensemble plays with the kind of enthusiasm and abandon that puts many older and wiser orchestras to shame. Listen to the way they shimmy and shake with the chanting BBC Singers through the jungle rhythms of the Choros No. 10. Though they're not Brazilian, all these musicians have "Alma Brasileira" -- Brazilian soul -- to burn. Andrew Farach-Colton, Barnes & Noble
