Villa-Lobos’ War and Victory Symphonies were commissioned by the Brazilian government following the end of the country’s involvement in World War I. Using very large orchestral forces, and conveying the composer’s feelings about the conflict with no sense of triumphalism, the two Symphonies display a confident use of unusual and evocative effects, such as the collage of fragments of the Brazilian national anthem and La Marseillaise in the ‘Battle’ movement of the Third Symphony. Villa-Lobos’s Symphonies Nos. 6 and 7 can be found on Naxos 8573043 in “superb… full-blooded” performances.

This is the second volume of a complete set of Villa-Lobos’s symphonies, and collectors have already latched onto this series as one to watch out for. Conductor Isaac Karabtchevsky has been described by The Guardian as one of Brazil’s “living national icons”, and this all-Brazilian project has hit the ground running.

Composer: Heitor Villa-Lobos
Conductor: Isaac Karabtchevsky
Orchestra/Ensemble: Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra

Reviews: These two symphonies were both composed in 1919 and reflect the composer’s response to the First World War. Musically they have a lot in common, save that the “War” Third Symphony features a lengthy funeral march while the “Victory” Fourth Symphony (I know, it’s not “Peace”, but it makes a better review title) shifts the focus onto the bright and confident finale—happily, life-affirming but with no bombastic strutting about here. They are both beautiful works, indulgently scored, but not overlong. They last only about half an hour each, are full of incident, and so they make a perfect coupling.

These performances are even better than the first release in this ongoing cycle. Isaac Karabtchevsky really seems to have woken up as an interpreter now that he has a fine orchestra under his baton. The “War” symphony is even livelier than the competition (on CPO), and the strings of the São Paulo Symphony seem quite comfortable with the composer’s strange ostinatos and dense, but often light, textures. Make no mistake, this is not easy music to play, and its relative lack of popularity is easily explained by the dearth of obvious Brazilian folk elements. But these are serious and enjoyable works, and it’s great to see them getting the attention they deserve from the composer’s compatriots. Terrific.
