“The vividness of the orchestration and the vitality of the rhythms are wonderfully conveyed by John Neschling's performances with the São Paulo Symphony, and the disc ends with a sumptuous account of the most ambitious pieces in the series, Choros No 12, which represents Villa-Lobos at his most inspiringly discursive and eclectic, as Stravinskian modernism rubs shoulders with folk-inspired melodic writing.” --The Guardian, February 2009
“John Neschling has no equal in this repertoire… in the same piece, Villa-Lobos slides from elevated invention towards banality - Neschling makes it hang together, and the kinetic vivacity of the orchestral playing is mesmerising.” --Gramophone Magazine, June 2009
The present disc completes the Villa-Lobos’ Choros cycle, which consists of the 12 extant Choros (according to Villa-Lobos himself another two were completed, but the manuscripts were lost before publication), a prologue (the Introduction to the Choros, incidentally composed almost last), and the Two Choros (bis) – an ‘after-thought’ in which a violin and a cello are left to sum up the cycle
