Fabio MechettiAbout
Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez gained international fame with Batuque, a piece championed by conductors such as Toscanini, Koussevitsky, Bernstein and Chávez. This became something of a stand-alone hit, but here it is heard in the context of the less commonly represented entire Reisado do Pastoreio suite. Fernandez’s two symphonies suffered neglect after the composer’s untimely death at the age of 50 and both of these recordings are premieres, with a world-premiere release of the powerful First Symphony, and the first modern studio recording of the programmatic Second Symphony, both representative of post-war creative energy and optimism.
Founded in 2008, the award-winning Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra has become one of Brazil’s most successful cultural organisations. The Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra has appeared on several releases in The Music of Brazil series, including Almeida Prado’s First Piano Concerto and other works (8574225), described in BBC Music Magazine as a recording that ‘showcases the composer’s startling musical imagination and is performed with mastery and poise by Brazilian pianist Sonia Rubinsky and the Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra’.
Fabio Mechetti has been artistic director and principal conductor of the Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra since its foundation. Under his leadership, the orchestra has received numerous awards, recorded nine albums, including several for Naxos, and undertaken a tour of South America. In 2014, he became the first Brazilian music director of an Asian orchestra when he was appointed principal conductor of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. In the US, Mechetti conducted the Jacksonville Symphony for 14 years and is now its conductor emeritus.
