Description

This exciting set, encompassing all 17 string quartets by the extraordinary Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), is a milestone collection of what most scholars have called 'the most important contribution in this field by a Latin American composer'. The beautifully boxed set is also the first time all of the quartets have been made available as an integral release. Performed by Cuarteto Latinoamericano, recognized world-wide as the preeminent ensemble focusing on Latin American music, the recordings have received universal critical acclaim as well as a GRAMMY nomination for 'Best Chamber Music Performance' and a Latin GRAMMY. It is only fitting that this spectacular boxed set is being released in celebration of the composer's monumental musical achievements on the 50th anniversary of his passing. Along with the 6 CDs the set includes a DVD with a full performance of Quartet number one as well as interviews with the ensemble about Villa-Lobos and their connection with the Music. Villa-Lobos - It has become almost commonplace to say that the musical output of Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) is as vast, varied, and exuberant as the Amazon rain forest, which was his life-long inspiration. This is a picturesque analogy, but it certainly rings true: in the catalogue of Villa-Lobos, which comprises more than 2,000 works, we find an astonishing variety of forms, genres, and modes of expression that bear witness to the composer's inquisitive and adventuresome spirit. The sheer number of string quartets penned by Villa-Lobos is remarkable in itself: they are seventeen in all, written over a period of forty-two years, and they undoubtedly represent the most important contribution in the genre by a Latin American composer.Formed in 1982, Cuarteto Latinoamericano is known worldwide as the leading proponent of Latin American music for string quartet
