Paul Klinck (violin), Claude Coppens (piano) Although he is the most productive composer of our century (1065 numbers in the catalogue), only a small part of the work of Heitor Villa-Lobos is known, including the famous Choros et Bachianas brasileiras. It can be said that Villa-Lobos was a self-taught musician; he learnt the guitar, the cello and commenced his musical career playing in cafés and with street musicians, before embarking on a long journey across Brazil from 1908 to 1912. He absorbed the musical traditions of his country, but was also influenced by European composers and he finished by combining all this material, which was both popular and erudite, to create a music with an extraordinary freedom of language. Paul Klinck and Claude Coppens offer a first, the complete work for violin and piano; in addition to the three Sonates-Fantaisies (the score of the fourth was in all likelihood lost between France and Brazil in 1930), we discover for the first time six small pieces, seductive miniatures which are easily accessible and complete an exceptional disk. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Villa-Lobos: Complete Violin Sonatas
Heitor Villa-Lobos composed prolifically in every genre, but his chamber music has not received the attention of his richly scored, opulent accomplishments in the fields of orchestral and vocal music, as well as the cello-saturated Bachianas Brasilieras. These three sonatas were written between 1912 and 1920 and are full of entirely characteristic, colourful melodic vocabulary, structured as extended rhapsodies. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Ricardo Odnoposoff (violin) One of the finest violinists of all time, Ricardo Odnoposoff was born in Buenos Aires on February 24, 1914, the son of Russian immigrants. Following early studies in Buenos Aires and Berlin, he was accepted at thirteen to the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, where he studied violin with Carl Flesch from 1928 to 1931 and composition under Paul Hindemith. At the end of these studies, his career was inaugurated by an appearance, at 17, as a featured soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Erich Kleiber. An examination of his recorded legacy reveals a supreme artist, equipped with a brilliant technical command. | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
