5.0 out of 5 stars Villa-Lobos conducts Villa-Lobos, January 19, 2000
The portions of Bachianas Brasileiras most of us are familiar with are on this CD. Originally recorded in 1958,this title was digitally remastered at Abbey Road Studios in 1998. It is stunning. Victoria de los Angeles is the soloist and when I discovered this recording I found the exact voice for Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5., Aria. And Villa-Lobos' conducting is like his music - enormous range and power. I own several editions of Bachianas Brazileiras and only listen to this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the version to buy, January 10, 2003
By David R. Forrest (Rockville, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not intended to be a full review, but just a few comments:

1. If you haven't heard Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, you owe it to yourself to become familiar with this beautiful and haunting work.

2. I almost made the mistake of not buying this version because of its inferior sound quality (it's mono). The performance goes way beyond the recording techniques and the digital remastering makes this quite listenable.

3. Victoria de Los Angeles is amazing. Don't even breathe until the last echoes of the first movement have disappeared into silence. If you don't get chills up your spine, there's no hope for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous beyond words, October 4, 2003
If you are not familiar with the Bachianas Brasileiras pieces, you really haven't lived yet. There's still hope however, but you must buy this CD immediately.

Villa-Lobos conducting implies two key issues: first, the music itself is sublimely performed - easily the best recording of the Bachianas 2 and 9 (not that there are many), and possibly the best 1 and 5.

On to the second issue: the recording quality is not wonderful. It has been remastered, but there's still a fair amount left to be desired in the sound.

However, don't let this turn you off or away from this recording - the music is superb, the performances are superb (Victoria de los Angeles is a goddess). You now officially have no excuse for not owning this CD.
