BRANFORD MARSALIS - Romances for Saxophone (1986) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Romances for Saxophone was released in 1986 by CBS Masterworks' Light Classics division. Branford Marsalis, usually known for his jazz background, asserts his mastery of the soprano saxophone on this excellent collection of romantic chamber music. Accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra, Marsalis indulges us with some of his most fervent music yet. Each piece explores a different aspect of love and romance. Vocalese, originally for the soprano voice, portray the vocal lyricism and musicality of Marsalis' soprano saxophone. The "Rachmaninoff Vocalese" is an exceptional confirmation of the mastery of tone and musicianship that defines the music Marsalis is known for. Other well-known works, such as Debussy's L'Isle Joyeuse and Stravinsky's Pastorale, brilliantly contrast the air that Marsalis has played since 1981. The French and Russian compositions add a new dimension to the young Marsalis repertoire -- classical romantic. by Paula Edelstein

HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS : Piano Music • 4 (2004) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless
Sonia Rubinsky and Naxos continue their series of the piano music of Villa-Lobos with this volume containing the Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4, the Carnaval das Crianças, and a few of his lesser-known suites and pieces. For the most part these works are not as virtuosically spectacular as Rudepoêma or the Prole do bebê suites; they are character pieces in the truest sense of the form, and even the dances on the disc present specific moods. It takes a truly imaginative musician to successfully put across these types of works, and Rubinsky does indeed succeed. The Bachian aspects of the Bachianas Brasileieras No. 4 are brought out well in this solo piano version. Rubinsky clearly delineates the intertwining melodic lines and subtly creates drama, primarily letting the music speak for itself. Within the simpler sound and textures of the Carnaval das Crianças and Francette et Piá suites, Rubinsky keenly imparts their childlike natures, but also convincingly conveys Villa-Lobos' character paintings that blend the emotional and pictoral. The other brief pieces on the disc could easily be overplayed as leftovers of the Romantic era, but Rubinsky doesn't wallow in their moodiness. She knows this music well, and it shows. by Patsy Morita
HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS : Piano Music • 6 (2007) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless
If one were to choose a single volume out of Naxos' edition of Villa-Lobos' piano music with the purpose of getting to know the great Brazilian's voluminous output in this genre, then you would make no better choice than this one, Villa-Lobos: Piano Music 6. This contains Villa-Lobos' largest scale masterwork for piano, the highly experimental and ambitious Rudepoêma of 1921-1926 written for Artur Rubinstein, however this is wisely placed toward the end to make room for some of Villa-Lobos' more appealing and immediate creations. These include As Très Marias, an intoxicating set of etudes that helped make Villa-Lobos' reputation in the United States through a classic recording made for Columbia in 1941 by pianist Guiomar Novaes. There are also some lesser known works that exemplify Villa-Lobos' unique artistic personality -- his Saudades das Selvas Brasileiras (1927), which could easily pass for piano music written in the 1980s, and his remarkable Petizada (The Little Brats, 1912), where the idiom of Debussy is pressed into service to represent the squabbling of incorrigible children. Villa-Lobos, however, seldom reveals his sources of musical inspiration -- the representation of the world around him provides the thrust for his work. The techniques Villa-Lobos uses, like that of a master painter, remain subsumed in the strokes on the canvas. New York Sky Line Melody (1939) was derived from a graph of the New York City skyline; however, this is not the impression one comes away with -- that they've just heard a "graphic score" -- but with an accurate and touching representation of the impressive majesty of New York City's buildings rising from the base of the Hudson River. Another piece of this sort, Melodia da montanha (1938, derived from the outline of the mountain range surrounding Rio de Janeiro) is given its first recording here, along with an early work, Carnaval de Pierrot (1910), as completed by composer Amaral Vieira.
Brazilian pianist Sonia Rubinsky's playing throughout is sensitive, dedicated, and appropriately forceful in the Rudepoêma. Despite his enormous production in the area of piano music, Villa-Lobos did not play the piano himself -- his main instruments were the cello and guitar. As a result, his piano music can be tougher to play than it sounds, and Rubinsky is not only up to the challenge, but she obviously relishes it. Owing to its superb cross section of Villa-Lobos pieces, good sound, and Rubinsky's strong commitment to the material at hand, this Naxos disc is a winner, standing apart from even other entries in its own series. by Uncle Dave Lewis
HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS : Piano Music • 7 (2008) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless
In Naxos' Heitor Villa-Lobos: Piano Music 7, Brazilian pianist Sonia Rubinsky explores some of the parallel piano versions of pieces that Villa-Lobos created in other forms along with some uncollected pieces that remain in manuscript only, many here recorded for the first time. This includes the piano solo version of Villa-Lobos' ballet Amazonas (1917) -- which Villa-Lobos himself transcribed in 1932 -- and José Vieira Brandao's rendering of Villa-Lobos' Guitar Preludes of 1940, which is a superbly pianistic bit of transcribing. The "Lembrancas do Sertao" from the Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2 migrates so well to the keyboard that if the listener didn't know of the original then one can't imagine this ever wasn't a piano piece to start with. The remainder includes the miniature Feijoada Sem Perigo... (1955), not quite a minute long and extremely rare for a composer all about elaborating ideas; the Bailado infernal (1920) is a violent eruption that feels like a harbinger of what would arrive with his Rudepoéma (1921-1926). The rest of the pieces, all very obscure, have an occasional feeling and seem to have been written to address certain places and circumstances; no great discoveries hear, but graceful and/or celebratory pieces that carry a certain casual elegance and pomp. Rubinsky, here as everywhere else in the series, demonstrates her keen acumen for anything Villa-Lobos. While the material on Volume 7 is not as heartstopping as what was on Volume 6, it's still a winner. by Uncle Dave Lewis
