Author: Guy Rickards

Bearing comparison with those of Bartók, Shostakovich or Simpson and containing some of his finest music – 1942’s Seventh – Villa-Lobos’s quartets are not as well known as they should be. The Latin American’s performances are a match for the Danubius (Marco Polo) and preferable to the Bessler-Reis (Le Chant du Monde), whose survey was left incomplete.
