It is no exaggeration to say that Heitor Villa-Lobos put Brazilian music on the cultural map. Standing out from his huge output of some 1500 works are the remarkable Bachianas Brasileiras, a collective homage to Bach ranging in scale from the instrumental to the full orchestral, and combining colourful Brazilian idioms with those of the Baroque era. The Bachianas Brasileiras include Villa-Lobos’ best-known work, No. 5 for soprano and cellos, as well as The Little Train of the Caipira (No. 2), a vivid evocation of a steam locomotive moving steadily across Brazil.
