Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Brazilian and European classical music with Antonio Meneses' captivating album, "Soirées Internationales: Villa-Lobos, Boulanger, Camargo Guarnieri & Martinů in Paris." Released on AVIE Records in 2009, this album is a testament to Meneses' virtuosity and his deep connection with the compositions of Heitor Villa-Lobos, Lili Boulanger, Camargo Guarnieri, and Bohuslav Martinů.
The album spans a diverse range of styles and moods, from the lyrical and melancholic "Ária (Cantilena)" from Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 to the rhythmic and energetic "Toccata (O trenzinho do caipira)" from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2. Meneses' masterful interpretations bring out the unique character of each piece, showcasing his technical brilliance and expressive depth.
The album also features world premiere recordings of works by Lili Boulanger and Bohuslav Martinů, adding an element of discovery and excitement. The Cello Sonata No. 1 by Camargo Guarnieri is another highlight, with its three movements offering a journey from the sorrowful "Tristonho" to the passionate "Apaixonadamente" and the wild, untamed "Selvagem."
With a total duration of 1 hour and 10 minutes, this album is a substantial and rewarding listening experience. Whether you're a fan of classical music or simply looking to explore new sounds, Antonio Meneses' "Soirées Internationales" is sure to enchant and inspire.
