4.0 out of 5 stars
Good recording of rarely-heard works, February 21, 2002
This review is from: Villa-Lobos: Missa São Sebastião; Bendita Sabedoria; Magnificat-Alleluia; Motets (Audio CD)
These works by Villa-Lobos are little-known, and rarely-performed. With one exception, the works on the disc are all a cappella. And while the St. Sebastian Mass (Missa Sao Sebastiao) is relatively austere, all the music on the disc is well-performed, and sounds simply beautiful.
I must point out, however, the one work for chorus and orchestra, the Magnificat-Alleluia that closes the disc. This is one of the most beautiful works I have ever heard, and it receives an incredible performance: even though it runs just seven minutes, it alone is worth the price of the entire disc. I definitely recommend this to fans of Villa-Lobos.

I love this cd. We sang this in choir a few years ago and it was quite a lovely experience.
