Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) wrote a copious amount of music, but his pieces for solo piano (numbering around 200) are some of his most memorable. Combining regional folksong motifs with complicated tonal structures, he created art-music that was instantly engaging (imagine Erik Satie growing up in one of the most rhythmically rich countries in the world). Marc-André Hamelin, never one to shy from a pianistic challenge, tackles four of Villa-Lobos's best-loved and most difficult solo works: As Tres Marias; A Prolo do Bebê, Suite No. 1; A Prolo do Bebê, Suite No. 2; and Rudepoema. The last--which translates to "Savage Poem"--is Villa-Lobos's longest work for solo piano and one of the most complex to comprehend, but Hamelin's accents and driving rhythms keep things interesting. On the two suites, Villa-Lobos is at his most playful, creating an aural picture of childhood (the first is devoted to dolls, the second to animals) with miniatures that vary from slow and sentimental ("Caboclinha") to fast and playful ("O camundongo de massa"). This is tough music, and Hamelin captures its magic, especially on the faster, driving pieces. The highlight may be the short piece "As Tres Marias," a pulsating and gorgeous work, whose melodic line was inspired by a pattern of stars Villa-Lobos had detected in the night sky. Great stuff. --Jason Verlinde

A CD With Shock-Value.......2002-03-07

The cover of this CD may make one think about werewolves or that the piano pieces on this disc may have some connection with wolves howling in the wilderness. Actually, the two suites called A prole do Bebe have to do with children's toys, and only one of the selections (entitled: The Little Glass wolf) has to do with a wolf. As one will understand upon hearing this short piece, the wolf is indeed snapping!

The piano works recorded her are very well played by Marc-Andre Hamelin and are beautifully recorded. Despite the fact the much of the music has to do with children, only the first suite can be said to be charming in its insight into a child's world; the second is rather more abrasive and percussive. As Tres Maries (The Three Stars) are very short and sparkling. Rudepoema is considered to be Villa-Lobos' masterpiece for the keyboard. It is rather hard to describe but is relentless in the percussive effects and astringent writing. It lasts for over 18 minutes, and with the exception of some short, reflective passages the music is characterized by jagged rhytmns.

In buying this disc I was interested in hearing something of the piano music of Villa-Lobos, and it is interesting but rather a challenge for the listener. Certainly, this is not for a someone seeking Chopin-like music.

A good CD.......2001-09-17

The Rudepoema is by far my favorite piece on this disc. It is really more savage than primitive as it has extremely complicated polyrhythms and layering. The two suites, The Little Dolls and The Little Animals, very successfully evoke the "recollections of childhood" that the composer indicates in the titles. However, for my tastes, most of these pieces are a little too heavy on chaos and light on substance, and Hamelin's playing doesn't seem to do much to remedy this. When listening to them I often get the urge to skip to the last five or so in the second set (this includes pieces such as the "wooden horse" and the "glass wolf", which, for their sheer drive and energy, are quite stunning on the first few listenings.) As Tres Marias are beautifully polished little pieces, but very very short. In summary, I would easily give this CD a five if all the compositions were of equal quality to Rudepoema. The Rudepoema is a good 18 minutes long, so if you like it as much as I do it will be worth the price of the CD.

Interpretive Powers Equal to technical - Finally!.......2000-10-10

Often times Hamelin's mammoth technique seems to take center stage with many of his studio recordings for better or worse. But this recording is very different, every phrase is carefully executed dynamics are tightly followed and he really lets the atmosphere of these charming works shine through. Don't get me wrong this is probably one of hamelins finer technical displays and a glance at the terribly unfriendly scores will show as much but he seems to finally have tapped into a tonal refinement that matches his rhythmic accuracy. Not entirely unlike prime michelangeli. Also very very good recorded sound. This truely is one of the finest piano albums I have ever heard. Also watch out for some Schumann from hamelin which will be his next release. Fantasy in C, symphonic etudes and a grand sonata. I just don't think its possible to top this though. absolutely wonderful.

Hamelin's Best.......2000-08-02

I thought I knew it all about Marc Andre Hamelin. I've seen him in concert, I've purchased all his discs. He's probably the best pianist alive today. But with the release of this disc, he moves into a different league entirely. Like Stephan Hough's Mompou disc, this release is monumental in that it couples a superior technique and tastefulness (enough to make a great pianist) with an awe-inspiring use of color and expression. Hamelin's playing on this disc moves me profoundly. Buy this and Hough's Mompou disc and you'll have two of the best piano discs ever released. You'll be sorry if you don't!

Os Três Malandros in Concert.......2002-04-19

"Os Três Malandros in Concert" represents a gathering of the some of the best "pagodeiros" of Rio (Pagode is a grass-roots type of Samba). The Album was originally intended as a mild-mannered parody of the "Three Tenors in Concert", but the effort surpasses anything they may have initially set out to do.

Even if you don't speak Portuguese it is worth just for the music, but if you do, it shows how clever lyrics, good samba and excellent production can make an album which is destined to become legendary.

Definitely a MUST HAVE if you intend to have a good collection of Brazilian Samba.

A High Energy Re-telling Of Bossa Standards.......2001-07-05

Using synths and guitar, plus some unusual percussion this album delivers the usually soft/quiet Bossa Nova standards in a jump-up & dance-along driving beat. Good stuff, which only proves that no matter how you take it, Bossa is the best music on the planet.
