Antonio Meneses Plays Villa-Lobos Concertos
Antonio Meneses is a world-class cellist, and also a native of Brazil. That's important.
Villa-Lobos War and Victory Symphonies - Compelling Music
Completed in 1919, these symphonies play against expectations. First, the works have very little of the folk elements Villa-Lobos scores are known for. Second, although commemorating victory, the symphonies avoid bombastic and heroic gestures.
We are grateful for the generosity of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and UVA Arts Council, supporting WTJU and CharlottesvilleClassical.org.
