Hi, Onya.
Guess you already know that I'd be the first (and possibly only) person to reply. 
If you have the Marco Polo CD of Villa-Lobos' Amazonas, Dawn in a tropical forest, & Erosao, then you probably should have his 1954 Genesis (perhaps you omitted that one by accident or design?).
Anyway, I think you should like half of the "Choros" series by Villa-Lobos (the higher numbered ones).
Going in reverse order, there're his Choros no.12, Choros no.11 for piano and orchestra, Choros no. 10 for orchestra & chorus, Choros no.9, Choros no. 8 for 2 pianos & orchestra, & Choros no. 6. Most of these were written between 1925 & 1929.
Also, I'd recommend his short "Fantasia for cello and orchestra" (the version I have is on the Delos label) and his earlier Rudepoema for either piano solo or orchestra.
(even though you may not care for his more formal works, such as his symphonies, you might like Symphonie no. 10 "AmerIndia". It's not unlike Forest of the Amazon in that it evokes Brazil via chorus and orchestra.)

By the way, do you have the CD with Nonetto and Quatuor? They are seldom recorded (earlier) works, and I don't know why.
No, I don't have the Nonetto.
However, there have been multiple volumes of VL's string quartets. Both Dorian Discovery and Marco Polo have issued surveys of his string quartets.
Was this early Quatuor a string quartet or some other chamber piece?
No, Quatuor is a chamber piece. Great instrumentation: voices (used instrumentally), sax, flute, vibes, percussion. You must pick up this CD. It is dirt cheap.

There are, what looks like, two new recordings from Naxos of Heitor :
VILLA-LOBOS, H.: Symphonies Nos. 3, "War" and 4, "Victory" (Sao Paulo Symphony, Karabtchevsky)
http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.573151
VILLA-LOBOS, H.: Symphonies Nos. 6 and 7 (Sao Paulo Symphony, Karabtchevsky)
http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.573043
I have had a good experience with Floresta with the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra and Korondi, but not the above. Has anybody heard these symphony recordings and will comment?

I'm so grateful for this topic: wasn't aware of the Nonetto/Quatour album at all, but I'm loving the samples and it's on the way.
Thanks so much for providing the lists of Villa Lobos exotica - there's much here to explore.
