Artist(s):
Alfred Heller, Heitor Villa-Lobos

a seminal release … stunningly idiomatic composer-directed readings of great historical value … Everything humanly and technically feasible has been called into play to preserve and enhance these precious recordings … incisively authentic readings … As a pièce de résistance, we also get a first recording of Heller’s sly and savory two-minute 1958 “Happy Birthday!” piece to the composer... written for his 71st anniversary. All in all, this festive release is truly worthy of a plethora of celebrations. Bravo! Fanfare A disc must for fanatical fans of exotic music from the south. The Record Geijutsu
