The concertos and chamber works on this album show Villa-Lobos' unceasing enthusiasm for new colours and sonorities in his music. The 'Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra' was his last work for the instrument and written for Segovia. A cornerstone of the repertoire, it contains soaring melodies and rhythmic vitality couched in virtuosic writing. Exploring the instrument's full harmonic and chromatic possibilities, the 'Concerto for Harmonica' is also deftly orchestrated. New and daring sonic combinations are to be heard in the two chamber works demonstrating the composer's extraordinary gift for seductive lyricism.
