Went to a concert tonight, called “Brazilian Piano”.
Two brazilian pianists (Bernadete Castelan Póvoas and Mauren Frey – here is the link to the program of the concert) I’d never seen before around here giving a nice performance, I enjoyed a good part of the concert and what was especially interesting for me was to get to know a little about quite a few brazilian composers I’d never heard of in my “ignorance” :P…
So I thought I’d dig out a little bit more music from them and share it with you…
Osvaldo Lacerda
Link to his biography.
Two examples I liked on youtube (the pieces I heard was impossible to find decent recordings – “Aboio” and “Terno de Zabumba”. If anyone knows one, please share.):
“Poemeto”
“Pequena Suite I”
Ronaldo Miranda
Link to his biography (he has a site of his own, nice).
Two examples (the first is one of the pieces I heard today, the other one I might well consider learning one day on guitar, sounds great… but suppose it’s quite hard to play…):
“Tango”
“Apassionata”
Sérgio Vasconcellos-Corrêa
Link to his biography.
And again, two examples (the first is the piece I heard tonight, although it was on 4 hands piano, while here I found it for orquestra, sounds really great…)
“Baião (from the Suite Piratiningana)”
“Variações sobre um tema ‘Cana-fita’ ” (the composer himself playing)
And well, that’s all for today, folks.
No, wait, I have one more, here is Heitor Villa-Lobos‘ “Impressões Seresteiras” that I also heard tonight, just for you to enjoy listening, this is so beautiful 🙂
