Symphony No. 10 ‘Amerindia’
01. I. The Earth and It’s Creatures
02. II. War Cry (Bass, The Voice of the Earth)
03. III. Scherzo (Indian Natives, The Voice of the Earth)
04. IV. The Voice of the Earth and the Appearance of Anchieta (Amerindo, The Voice of the Earth, Indian Natives, Anchieta)
05. V. Glory in Heavens, and Peace on Earth (Chorus, Baritone)
This disc concludes CPO’s highly-acclaimed symphonies series by Villa-Lobos, making it the first complete recording of all ten symphonies. The composer himself described it as “an American-Indian symphony with choruses”. The impressive score calls for a full orchestra with organ, a mixed chorus, and tenor, baritone, and bass solos.
