Eliane Elias has made her name in the jazz field with some serious knuckle crunching jazz chops. After several successful albums for Blue Note, she suddenly released this album (on the EMI classical label) in 1993. And it is really very good indeed. She pays tribute to her countryman, Heitor Villa Lobos with 6 compositions, gives an above average performance of the Ravel Sonatine, and includes some Chopin mazurkas. The high point is her very bright rendition of Sebastian Bach's French Suite No. 5. I recommend this recording overall, and in particular for the Bach.
