Villa-Lobos covers the Baroque and Romantic Eras...

 

With Chorus!

Do You Want More?

 

Too bad! There isn't any.

The Little-Known Choral Music of Villa-Lobos

 

Choral Music seems to take a back seat behind the composer's other music genres.

An Uplifting Mass Setting

 

For a student work, I have nothing but plaudits.

The String Quartets of Stenhammar

 

Plus more!

Stenhammar: String Quartet 5 & 6

 

My favorite!

Stenhammar: String Quartet 3 & 4

 

If Stenhammar's first two quartets shows a composer with influences, the next two show a composer amidst change.

Stenhammar: String Quartet 1 & 2

 

Not two of Stenhammar's most beloved quartets, but they show the beginnings of a musician.

Time to Discover Puccini

 

I have trod Riccardo Chailly's 'discoveries' of Cherubini, Rossini, and Verdi thus far.

Sacred Music from Brazil

 

Coming across a 20th Century a cappella Mass setting is always a celebration.

The Cantatas of Stenhammar

 

My main point of comparison here is Vaughan Williams.

The Opera Suites of Puccini

 

I am not a dedicated opera listener, so Rizzi's interventions worked fine on this listener.

Unusual Concertos

 

Plus some chamber music!

The Trouble with Incidental Music

I like exploring Incidental Music, yet I find it not satisfyingly long-lasting.

Volume 2 with Verdi and Muti

 

As far as I can see, the only problem with Part II is...

Preludes & Overtures, Overtures and Preludes

 

Either way, both!

The Beauty of BIS sound

 

I often forget what truly beautiful sonics can achieve.
