'Piano Music of Brazil' 0 Fernandez Tres estudos em forma de sonatina, Op 62 Mignone Sonata No 1 L Miguez Nocturna Op 10 Nobre Tango, Op 61 Prado Cartas celestes, Vol 1 C Santoro 12 PrelUdios— Lento expressivo; Andante (Cantabile); Lento expressivo; Andante expressivo Villa-Lobos Ciclo brasileira — Impress6es seresteiras. Hommage a Chopin. Saudades das selvas brasileiras Eduardo Monteiro pf Meridian 0 CDE84551 (76' • DDD) Engaging glimpse into a wealth of music largely unknown outside South America
For most listeners Brazilian music begins and ends with Villa-Lobos but, as this varied selection reveals, there is much more to it than that. The creator of the Bachianas brasileiras is represented here by a movement from his distinctive Ciclo brasileira, plus the gentle diptych Saudades das selvas brasileiras ("Nostalgia for the Brazilian Jungle"), which so captivated Parisian audiences in the 1920s, and Hommage Chopin, a Nocturne and Ballade composed in 1949 to mark the centenary of Chopin's death.
