[Peter Friedman]

String Quartet in A minor  and String Quartet in D minor

[Teasing the Korean]

Villa-Lobos, Forest of the Amazon (1959).

This may have been the last thing he wrote, and I believe this is the only stereo recording of him conducting.

This version runs 47 minutes.  I prefer this recording, and this edit, to the 75-minute version which was recorded posthumously. 

Here is the full album:

I didn't know he composed music.  I thought all he did was piano exercises.

Yes, he composed a number of very good string quartets and also some symphonies. The funny part is that his  non-piano compositions are more interesting than the music he composed for piano/

Argerich - Mendelssohn - Piano Trio No.1,Op.49    and    Schubert - Symphony No.5

[Teasing the Korean]

Now listening to to Green Mansions by Bronislau Kaper and Heitor Villa-Lobos.  Kaper had to rework Villa-Lobos's music for the film, and also wrote his own passages.  Villa-Lobos reworked his own composition into Forest of the Amazon, which I posted earlier.
