Heitor Villa-Lobos (March 5, 1887 -- November 17, 1959) was a Brazilian composer, described as "the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music". Villa-Lobos has become the best-known and most significant Latin American composer to date. He wrote numerous orchestral, chamber, instrumental and vocal works. His music was influenced by both Brazilian folk music and by stylistic elements from the European classical tradition, as exemplified by his Bachianas Brasileiras ("Brazilian Bachian-pieces").

Here, the Brazilian organist and pianist Cristiano Rizzotto Vidal Pessôa interprets the Prelude of the Bachiana number 4 in a recital in Centro Cultural Francisco Mignone (November 26, 2010 - 18h).

Carioca, Villa-Lobos destacou-se por ter sido o principal responsável pela descoberta de uma linguagem peculiarmente brasileira em música, sendo considerado o maior expoente da música do modernismo no Brasil, compondo obras que enaltecem o espírito nacionalista, onde incorporou elementos das canções folclóricas, populares e indígenas.
