Bachianas Brasileiras No. 3 is my favorite. Also No. 4, 5 and 7. Other Villa-Lobos I enjoy considerably less.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Hard to make a choice, I'ld say for now:

Bachianas brasileras no. 7 for orchestra
O papagaio do moleque (tone poem)
Cello concerto No. 2
Guitar concerto
Chôros No. 10
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948
