About

César Guerra-Peixe was one of the most versatile Brazilian musicians of the 20th century, gaining a particular mastery of orchestration and creating his own inimitable sound through extensive work in radio, television and cinema. The toe-tapping dance rhythms and lyrical expressiveness in his two Symphonic Suites were inspired by research into Brazilian folk traditions, further enhanced by a broad range of vibrantly eloquent global influences. The light-hearted Roda de Amigos mischievously caricatures Guerra-Peixe’s musical circle of friends and their various woodwind instruments.

Reviews

“… The suites’ rhythmic flamboyance is expertly brought to life by the Goiás Philharmonic Orchestra, which under conductor Neil Thomson is both energetic and disciplined.” ****

Charlotte Smith – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes) – October 2022

“… Impressive and colourful scores from a little-known Brazilian composer. A genuinely important and enjoyable disc.”

Nick Barnard – MusicWeb-International.com – 11 August 2022

“…this very well recorded CD with excellent interpretations is an attractive portrait of Brazilian musical culture and the composer’s own life story.” *****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 8 July 2022
