Turibio Santos - Villa Lobos (1971)

Hello, Good Evening! I was browsing past statistics today and I noticed those few classical music albums releases in the past month had a great interest of our community. I'm talking about Encontro, the collaboration between Clara Sverner, Turibio Santos, Paulo Moura and Olivia Byington, Turibio Santos first LP for Caravelle and Maria Lucia Godoy, O Canto da Amazonia with Neco's guitar. The numbers are really surprising with Maria Lucia Godoy and Turibio Santos being the leaders. Let's make Loronix goes classical again.

This is Turibio Santos - Villa Lobos (1971), for MIS and issued by RCA Victor, the second Turibio Santos tribute to the Brazilian Maestro Heitor Villa Lobos, recorded in Paris. This is a truly beautiful record, Side A has Turibio Santos accompanied by Orquestra de Camara Jean-Francois Paillard, featuring flute, oboe, sax, celesta and harp, performing Sexteto Mistico, composed by Villa Lobos in 1917. Side B is Turibio Santos guitar performing alone five Villa Lobos preludios. It is hard to say which is the nicest side, but I had a slight preference for Side B, it is very nice to hear Turibio Santos performing alone. I urge Loronixers to feedback this release using comments section. Tracks include:

    Hello,

    Brazilian-influenced classical here? The answer is yes. There are many. However, I'm not versed on this subject. I think it is better keep my pickings on a "safe zone" with Villa, Turibio and others.

    The surprise of the day was a great find, another MIS LP of Maria Lucia Godoy. Do not miss her first release, one of my favorites.

    Cheers, zeca

    Zeca- Thank you for this post. I haven't heard any Villa-Lobos before, but the name is familiar to me. Excellent listening. Ask your helper Loronix to post more....

    Pleasant surprise! I have these albums on cassettes recorded by my guitar teacher. The cassettes have worn thin with time, so your transfers are most welcome, as I come back to these recordings regularly.
    Question: Side 1 of the album has only 5 MP3 files, and there are 6 on the cover of the album. The last part of the concerto and the first part of the sextet are both "Allegro non troppo". Is there a mistake?

    Thanks very much,
