The Soul of Brazil
A hundred years ago the Brazilian composer Heitor
Villa-Lobos was born in Rio de Janeiro. Despite the fact that he composed two evergreen popular classics, the Bachianas Brasileiras No 5 and The Little
Train of the Caipira, as well as a thousand other pieces, there is no comprehensive account of his life in English and a certain mystery remains.
Michael Berkeley finds out about the man and his music from conductor Enrique Batiz , guitarist and Director of the Villa-Lobos Museum Turibio Santos , his friends
Raquel Braune and Frederick Fuller , and pianist Michael Round. Producer RICHARD BANNERMAN
