Villa-Lobos: Complete Music for Solo Guitar

Search: Tres
from: Naxos

Release Date November 21, 2000
My first introduction to the guitar solos of Villa-Lobos were Segovia's recordings. Those soulfully articulated, iconically Segovian performances inspired me to seek out the sheet music for the pieces, especially the 5 Preludes. Like other reviewers of this disk, I sought an aural reference for the sheet; mixing the "business" of practicing with the pleasure of listening was also a desired outcome. I don't know what state of mind i could have possibly been in when I first listened to this record, but the interpretations didn't appeal to me right away. Especially the phrasing of "Choros No.1", which just bowled me over as being highly presumptuous. Also, being a great fan of Segovia, I was a little annoyed by the perfection of the playing; Kraft ... Read More:

Ravel: Complete Works for Solo Piano

Search: Tres
from: EMI Classics

Release Date February 15, 2005
Maurice Ravel's (1875 -- 1937)compositions for solo piano are not extensive, but almost all his works have become part of the standard repertoire. Ravel's piano music fits comfortably on a two-CD compilation. There are many available recordings, but I found this budget-priced reissue by Jean-Philippe Collard is an excellent way to get to know Ravel's piano music. Collard (b. 1948) is a French pianist who is known for his interpretations of French music, especially Saint-Saens and Faure. This CD of Ravel was initially released in 1978 and rereleased in 2005. A review of this CD on answers.com upon its reissue aptly stated that "the playing of Jean-Philippe Collard has a lot to recommend it, particularly in the way it is so naturally expressive. ...Collard's ...

Celibidache Conducts Debussy & Ravel (Box Set)

Release Date July 18, 2000
If only the French could play like this! Celibidache steps out of his awe inspiring Brucknerian habitat to conduct these wonderful ephemeral works. And the results are truly spellbinding.
