Suite for voice and violin, W 497

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Strikingly modern with a dash of Brazilian flavour, the violin at times sounds like a strummed guitar. The 3rd movement is fun, with the rhythmic drive coming straight from the Latino streets. Which is pretty unbelievable as it was written in 1920s Paris. Composer: Heitor Villa-Lobos Performer: Daniela Lehner (Mezzo) Performer: Tai Murray (Violin) Recording date: 23 June 2010 Date of broadcast: 08 July 2010
