Villa-Lobos’ symphonies Nos. 8, 9 and 11 were all created by major North American orchestras: Philadelphia (respectively under the leadership of the composer in 1950 and Eugene Ormandy in 1952) for the first two, then Boston under the direction of Munch in 1955 for the third. They constitute intense masterpieces from a composer at the height of his maturity, a character then celebrated across the musical sphere, but whose music seems to have been somewhat neglected since his death in 1959, with the exception of a few inescapable hits such as the famous Bachianas Brasileiras. It’s a shame his (often very impressive) symphonies aren’t played more often outside Brazilian borders, even if we can only rejoice to hear them here, recorded by the São Paulo Orchestra, undeniably the best in the country, directed by just as Brazilian and brilliant conductor Isaac Karabtchevsky. Do note that these are not rereleases but recent recordings made in 2015 and 2016, which vitality does justice to the Promethean music of tireless Villa-Lobos who, until his last breath, never ceased radiating imagination and genius. © SM/Qobuz
