Author: Lionel Salter
The more immediately attractive is No. 9 by reason of its greater melodic nature, though its fluid structure is elusive (and the quotation from Sheherazade is presumably just Villa-Lobos's fun): the extravagant textures of the more barbaric No. 8, abounding in tangled rhythmic complexities (with which Schermerhorn deals clear-headedly) cause some problems of balance that are not overcome. But this is music to be listened to not intellectually but with gut reactions; and if exuberant energy, exoticism and excitement appeal to you, do not hesitate to make its acquaintance.'
