Description:
The wildly popular Villa-Lobos series from NAXOS—this release features the complete collection of his rarely heard violin sonatas! Recommended by the Japan Villa-Lobos Society Villa-Lobos composed only three violin sonatas. However, these three works vividly capture the evolution of his compositional style prior to his studies in Paris. No. 1, “Despair,” and No. 2 are masterpieces that exude a unique melancholy within their free-form structures, titled “Sonata-Fantasia.” While heavily influenced by French composers such as Fauré and Debussy, they incorporate Brazilian elements throughout. The highlight is No. 3. The musical language bursts forth, foreshadowing Villa-Lobos’s later works! Perhaps due to its radical nature, No. 3 is rarely performed in concerts, but I strongly hope that this CD will lead to more opportunities for live performances. Even so, what an avant-garde violin sonata! President of the Japan Villa-Lobos Society / Conductor Yusuke Kigomo Villa-Lobos’s three violin sonatas were composed when he was in his twenties and thirties. At that time, Villa-Lobos had just returned from the Brazilian hinterlands, where he had traveled to collect folk songs. He had established a musical language that incorporated elements of Brazilian music into classical techniques and was beginning to gain recognition as an up-and-coming composer. That said, when he composed Sonata No. 1, he was still earning his living primarily as a cellist rather than as a composer, and his skills as a string player are evident in this piece, which is characterized by a melancholic atmosphere and lyricism. After thoroughly studying piano technique, he composed his Sonata No. 2 two years later. This work, in which the two instruments engage in a magnificent dialogue within a free form, was performed at a concert of his new works held in November 1915. His Sonata No. 3, published in 1920, shows the influence of Debussy but also features a more refined musical language that foreshadows his later series of “chores.” Bardini, the violinist, is originally from Italy. He has lived in Brazil since 2005, where he serves as concertmaster of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and is also active as a conductor. The Japanese edition includes a Japanese liner note.
