Edición en formato Digipack.

"Heitor Villa-Lobos was one of the least prolific composers of guitar music in the early 20th century, with only 24 pieces published during his lifetime, including Chôro No. 1, Suite Populaire Brésilienne, Cinq Préludes, and Douze Études. It is remarkable that despite his vast catalogue of composition and his affinity for the guitar, he has produced relatively few works for the instrument. Nonetheless, Villa-Lobos gained prominence in concert and recording programs starting in the 1960s due to the high musical quality of his works and his deep connection to the instrument. His relationship with the guitar has often been compared to that of Chopin with the piano; highlighting his natural and joyful style, though different in musical language (...)
Villa-Lobos was born in Rio de Janeiro on March 5, 1887, into a musically inclined family. His father, Raul, a government official and cellist, was his first teacher, introducing him to the cello and clarinet. Raul forbade, however, the young Heitor him from playing the guitar. After his father’s death, his mother, who wanted him to become a doctor, confiscated his musical belongings, which only fueled his passion for music. Without access to a piano, Villa-Lobos secretly studied guitar using 19th-century methods and developed a unique technique. He also immersed himself in Rio’s non-academic musical scene, participating in chôros performances. A largely self-taught composer, Villa-Lobos acknowledged his influence from classical works, especially Bach and Haydn, and studied Vincent D’Indy’s Cours de Composition musicale. Throughout his life, the guitar remained a key instrument for his musical experimentation.
It was during his first stay in Paris that Villa-Lobos decided to turn his youthful guitar passion into a professional artistic project (...)
Villa-Lobos’ early guitar compositions were influenced by 19th-century traditions, adapting piano models with ease, similar to composers like Mauro Giuliani and Johann Kaspar Mertz. However, his Douze Études (1924-1928) marked a departure from external instrumental influences, focusing on the guitar’s characteristics. These études were revolutionary, transforming the guitar from its intimate, salon-style into an instrument with dramatic, percussive, and powerful expression, reflecting a modern musical language. The work was inspired by Villa-Lobos’ meeting with Andrés Segovia in 1924, who encouraged him to contribute to the creation of a modern guitar repertoire. The result was one of the most significant contributions to guitar literature (...)
In the late 1940’s, Villa-Lobos returned to the guitar with the Cinq Préludes, dedicated to his companion Arminda Neves d’Almeida (Mindiha), which constitutes his last work for solo guitar. The Préludes strike an ideal balance between the melancholic lyricism of the Suite Populaire Brésilienne and the visceral modernism of the Douze Études (...)
This recording by Giulia Ballaré is based on the new editions I curated for the Max Eschig publisher starting in 2006. These editions are the result of research involving the consultation of all available manuscript sources for each piece, mainly held in the archives of the Parisian publisher Max Eschig, the Museu Villa-Lobos in Rio de Janeiro, and the Fundación Andrés Segovia in Linares, Spain.
Notably, Giulia Ballaré recorded the 1928 manuscript version of the Douze Études, a work that Villa-Lobos had the opportunity to revise multiple times before its official publication in the 1950s. The long time between the completion of these works and their actual publication allowed the composer to make modifications to the original versions." Frédéric Zigante

"Giulia Ballaré (b. 1987, Novara) is widely regarded as one of her generation's most promising classical guitar soloists. She began playing guitar at the age of nine and graduated in 2012 from the Conservatory in Novara with M° Guido Fichtner. She has attended masterclasses with some of the most prominent figures in the classical guitar world, including Oscar Ghiglia, Alberto Ponce, David Russell, Pavel Steidl, Paolo Pegoraro, Marcin Dylla, Judicaël Perroy, Aniello Desiderio, and Adriano Del Sal. After completing an Erasmus program in Spain, she fully dedicated herself to the instrument. In a short period, she was awarded more than 30 prizes in international competitions (...) Her discography includes her debut album Lirically Spain (2013, dotGuitar), Untuned Guitar (2019, JSM Records), and Lo que vendrá (2023, JSM Records), a duo album with French guitarist Pauline Gauthey. Giulia’s teaching career is equally impressive. She is professor of guitar at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève (Switzerland) (...) She has been a member of the jury in prestigious international competitions (...)"
