About

Oscar Lorenzo Fernández was a key figure in the cultural life of Rio de Janeiro. The primordial power of Batuque, the final movement of his Afro-Brazilian influenced suite Reisado do Pastoreio, gained the composer international fame. Without ever abandoning his Brazilian roots, in his later career Lorenzo Fernandez moved away from explicit nationalism towards a more universalist idiom as can be heard in the vigorously themed and atmospheric First Symphony of 1945 and the programmatic Second Symphony, inspired by the life and death of the heroic 17th-century explorer Fernão Dias Paes Leme. Symphony No. 1 is a world premiere recording.

Reviews

“…A fine and generous survey makes this a genuine discovery.”

Nick Barnard – Musicwebinternational.com – 17 July 2024

“…Vibrant and tuneful, it makes a fine introduction to the 20^th-century Brazilian composer.” ****

Jeremy Pound – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – August 2024

“…The interpretations by the orchestra from Minas Gerais are committed and of a good standard, so that the composer’s music is impressively rendered and this album can be unequivocally recommended.” *****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 8 June 2024
