description
The present issue makes an excellent introduction to the composer, and its three CDs assemble the nine Bachianas brasileiras he composed between 1930 and 1945. They were conceived as homage to Bach and range from instrumental and chamber pieces (like the First for an orchestra of cellos, the Fifth for voice and eight cellos, and the Sixth for flute and bassoon) to larger orchestra and Nos. 7 and 8 for orchestra). They are all highly original and mostly colourful, and they are very well played. José Feghali is an excellent soloist in the Third, as is Rosana Lamosa in the well-known Fifth. The Nashville Orchestra respond with enthusiasm to Kenneth Schermerhorn who, alas, died before he could complete all nine pieces, and the First, which had been left to last, was conducted by Andrew Mogrelia. • Penguin Guide, January 2009
