I love old-school liner notes because of the stories they tell about the music. Currently spinning a piece by Heitor Villa-Lobos, a true master. His composition O Trenzinho do Caipira from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2 was inspired by a train ride he took in 1931 transporting berry pickers and farm laborers between villages in Brazil. In the arrangement, you can hear the train squeak, chug, and bump along. An incredible piece of music, and it’s a shame how many listeners today may never fully appreciate this Brazilian giant.
