hello all,

i have come across a piece by villa lobos, called POEMA SINGELO...

id like to find a recording of it... any suggestions...

this piece seems very modern in some aspects awhile still having some very romantic moments... i think its great, and though im only a beginner... have started to work on it...

im done almost done with the first page... essentially the theme, and am looking forward to the rest...

thanks for your time...

ps- any opinons on this piece, villa - lobos, other composers from the early to middle 20th century (in his vein) are welcome!!!

My two favourite recordings of “Poema singelo”  are with the late Brazilian pianist Arnaldo Estrela (“Antologia da música brasileira” vol. II – Festa) (This may be difficult to find outside Brazil)  and with Cristina Ortiz (Villa Lobos: Piano Music – Decca) which you can buy here:

I hope this helps,

*BUMP*

I just finished cleaning up some bad noise on some recordings I had, and I'm posting here if anyone's interested. The first file is a studio recording by legendary brazilian pianist Guiomar Novaes, playing several underplayed piano works (circa 1950-60), and the second is a Villa-Lobos only program by pianist Cristina Ortiz, still performing nowadays (live non-commercial recording, taken from her recital on Florianópolis, south of Brazil, on 2003).

Villa-Lobos - Festa no Sertão (an outdoor party)

these are extremely rare, keep them for yourself.
And tell me what you think

Thank you for the files :D

These are indeed rare, especially the Guiomar Novaes' one.

However, I am not sure how to open them. Which program do you use to open ".rar" files?

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

I like these pieces a lot - does anyone have the music for them? are they part of a set or just random programming? (thanks for the recs)
