5.0 out of 5 stars Best collection of the Brazilian master!, January 2, 2002
This review is from: Villa-Lobos Solo Guitar: Heitor Villa-Lobos Collected Works for Solo Guitar (Paperback)
I was so excited when this book came out about 8 years ago. The exact works as put to paper by Heitor Villa-Lobos. And the price is right! It used to be you would need to spend over 100 bucks for all the guitar works. Etudes, preludes and the Brazilian suites along with the Choros no. 1.
Easy to follow harmonic explinations in the back of the book. This is a must have for all classical guitarists. The best music investment I made in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars What can you say?, October 16, 2006
This review is from: Villa-Lobos Solo Guitar: Heitor Villa-Lobos Collected Works for Solo Guitar (Paperback)
Probably the pinnacle of achievement in 20th century classical guitar works, certainly among Brazilian composers.

Rating something like this is like rating Shakespeare. The work itself innately valuable, it's just a matter of the accuracy of translation. To that effect this collection succeeds beautifully. You get all his guitar works, plus there is a much needed section at the end which clarifies harmonics and fingering patterns penned by Villa-Lobos himself.

This collection contains all the composer's solo guitar compositions. Here is a list of the contents:

- Choros No. 1 (Typico)
- Suite Populaire Bresilienne
- 12 Etudes
- 5 Preludes

These works are among the most important and innovative in the classical guitar repertiore. Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, June 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Villa-Lobos Solo Guitar: Heitor Villa-Lobos Collected Works for Solo Guitar (Paperback)
The works are left as villa lobos intended with all of his reccomended fingerings and notation left intact despite the sometimes unclear intentions and incredibly difficult fingerings. The harmonics are also confusing but a section is reserved in the back that translates them into tarrega's notation.
