Villa-Lobos: Bachianas Brasileiras, 1–9
RPO/Batiz

The set includes the Guitar Concerto.
I have the Piano Concertos (Double Decca) and have just ordered the complete string quartets (ridiculously cheap: £8.41 plus postage), but don't know any other of his music (e.g., the Choros).
Any suggestions for further listening?

So, how's the search going, Pulcers ? Not exactly knocked over in the rush of replies.

Things that people have recommended ( I think) but I don't know myself include " Forest of the Amazon", ( a Suffolk Coastal Fave IIRC) and the 6/7 th symphonies, which Pabs was listening to , and also recommended, I think.

Two box sets ordered:
The complete string quartets (17, on 6 CDs)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Villa-Lobos-Complete-Quartets-Cuarteto-Latinoamericano/dp/B00020Q2ZU/ref=sr_1_7?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1535353647&sr=1-7&keywords=villa+lobos+box

and the complete Choros and Bachianas Brasilieras (includes the complete solo guitar music, apparently)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Villa-Lobos-Complete-Choros-Bachianas-Brasileiras/dp/B002CAOVVK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1535353647&sr=1-1&keywords=villa+lobos+box

So lots of listening when they get delivered.

Thanks for reminding me of that other thread, too!

Pulcinella, teamsaint

Here's a V-L recommendation:

http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2012/Oct12/VillaLobos_Emperor_9129.htm

Someone here mentioned Schnittke's Peer Gynt, which I'm enjoying very much indeed (Stockholm Opera Orchestra/Klas).

Debussy Jeux
Ravel Violin Sonata in G major(orch. Yan Maresz)
Stravinsky Petrushka(1911 version).
Renaud Capucon(violin)
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Jonathan Nott.

Not too sure if this orchestration of the violin sonata works. I know others have found this. Apart from that, a very good Prom. Great to hear this orchestra at the Proms, for the first time! Can you believe it?

Kurtag - 'Stele' - Michael Gielen; SWR Orchestra - a marvellous filler to his equally marvellous Mahler 'Resurrection' !

[HighlandDougie]

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 47

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra/Karel Ančerl (Denon/Supraphon Japan UHQCD remastering)

"Kurtag - 'Stele' - Michael Gielen; SWR Orchestra - a marvellous filler to his equally marvellous Mahler 'Resurrection' !" - I couldn't agree more. Gielen at his incisive best.

DSCH 5 in the performance from which I got to know it (Supraphon LP - all of 17/6). Scrubs up very well indeed in this recent issue. And I think that it's probably still my favourite performance of this much-performed work.

[gradus]

Abbado, Lucerne, Scherzo Mahler 5 ... stupendous.
