Blogs to watch
These are some of the Villa-Lobos/Brasil blogs I keep an eye on:
- Association Bresilienne de Concerts, from Paris. They're on top of Villa-Lobos concerts in Paris (and organize many of them).
- Daniella Thompson on Brazil - keep up with this indispensible blog, and you'll learn an awful lot about Brazilian music.
- The Annotated Ends Her Life: Elsie Houston - a fascinating story of an obsession with the great Brazilian soprano and surrealist Elsie Houston - and the actual blog part: Robert's Basement.
- AV-Rio - Brazilian guitar blog (in Portuguese)
- Audições Brasileiras - blog-clipping - great links to stories from Brazil on classical music
- Sonora Brasil blog - covers the great Brazilian Villa-Lobos tour of 2007-08 by the Orquestra do Estado de Mato Grosso
...and some more general classical music blogs:
- New Music reBlog
- Alex Ross' The Rest is Noise
- The Naxos Blog
- On the Record, with Henry Fogel's excellent American Orchestra tour
