Alvaro CassutoAbout
This first disc of a four-volume series of Freitas Branco’s orchestral works features the First Symphony, in which the influence of César Franck, Brahms and French musical impressionism is assimilated into his own musical style.
The Scherzo Fantastique is a short, single movement work, brilliantly orchestrated yet extremely controlled in its use of the orchestral forces. This is a world premiere recording of the piece.
The Suite Alentejana No.1 is based on the rich musical folklore of the Alentejo, a region of Portugal south of Lisbon where Freitas Branco spent many of his summers.
