Nicholas Slonimsky, “A Visit with Villa-Lobos,” Musical America, October 16, 1941, p. 10
Here’s a poster for regularly scheduled passenger service between Europe and Brazil from Hamburg-Amerika Line, from an excellent online exhibit from Denmark “The Airship is Coming!” 
The Uirapuru, an Amazonian bird that’s the subject of one of Villa’s great orchestral works. This picture is from the blog of Olivier Bleys, who wrote a five-part radio play “Le Vert Paradis de Villa-Lobos,” recently broadcast on France Culture. Click here to hear the song of this “Musician Wren.”
You can hear the Symphonic Poem and Ballet Uirapuru performed by the Odense Symphony on a Bridge CD, in a great performance conducted by Eduardo Mata, and in the legendary Stokowski recording from the 1950s.
7 Rue Jean Goujon is just off the Champs Elysee, not too far from the Hotel Bedford (7 Rue Arcade), where Villa-Lobos lived when he was in Paris from 1952 to 1959.
[By the way, I didn’t live there (I wish!) - I came across this picture on the web using Google’s image search - the website itself wouldn’t load.]
I missed this excellent review of the Seventh Symphony in the cpo series, by Paul Shoemaker, on the Musicweb site. Some good bits:
“However wild or strange this music sounds, there is always the sense of a brilliant mind in control.”
“it takes intense listening to hear the substance in this style and the individuality in these works, and it is worth the effort.”
It’s been great spending some time on the Musicweb site - very highly recommended!

“A further highlight in Gauthier’s career took place a few months later, when she performed songs by the Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos, at the Festival of the International Society of Contemporary Music in Venice, Italy. Here, Gauthier courageously finished her performance despite opposition from the traditionalist audience, which booed the Villa-Lobos composition. Sixteen years later she remembered that “… the audience on the whole much preferred the music of the old Venetians to the masters of today” (The Musical Record, June 1941).”
