I wrote to the orchestra last year requiring some information and this was the answer:<br /><br />"Your inquiry regarding the Villa-Lobos Fantasia de movimentos mistos, for violin and orchestra was forwarded to the Archives. The BSO performed the work with Eleazar de Carvalho conducting in Symphony Hall on February 4, 5, and 22, 1949. The BSO never made a commercial recording of this work, but what the University of Texas probably has is a cd made from a broadcast recording. At the Library of Congress there exists a collection of broadcast recordings from that era from NBC's radio series called "Dress Rehearsal." I suspect that the cd in the U. of Texas library is a dub from that collection. I don't know where you live, but you could probably hear this at either of those places.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say that this is not available as a commercial recording.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Barbara Perkel<br />BSO Archives"Wellington Müller Bujokashttp://umtantocinzento.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175206.post-42751000984063928232009-05-06T14:23:00.000-07:002009-05-06T14:23:00.000-07:00Darn!

There are a couple of duplicates, and Cello Concerto #1 seems to be missing. But there are two really interesting works included: Fantasia de movimentos mixtos, the excellent violin concerto; and O Martírio dos Insetos for violin and orchestra. Neither has been recorded, so we may get a chance to hear recordings of concert performances.<br /><br />May 1 - Piano Cto #4<br />May 4 - Ciranda das Sete Notas<br />May 5 - Momoprecoce<br />May 6 - Fantasia de movimentos mixtos<br />May 7 - O Martírio dos Insetos <br />May 8 - Choros #11<br />May 11 - Introduction to Choros<br />May 12 - Ciranda das Sete Notas<br />May 13 - BB#3<br />May 14 - Piano Cto #1<br />May 15 - Cello Fantasia<br />May 18 - Saxophone fantasia<br />May 19 - Piano Cto #2<br />May 20 - Piano Cto #3<br />May 21 - Guitar Cto<br />May 22 - Piano Cto #4<br />May 25 - Harp Cto<br />May 26 - Cello Cto #2<br />May 27 - Piano Cto #5<br />May 28 - Harmonica Cto<br />May 29 - Concerto GrossoDean Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648812085016268727noreply@blogger.com
