“After I heard the music of Nazareth, I finally understood the meaning of Brazilian soul.” remarked Darius Milhaud to Villa-Lobos in his arrival in Rio de Janeiro in 1916.
Nazareth was a Brazilian composer who explored the fusion of Afro-Brazilian musical elements and European classical traditions. His output created a new face for Brazilian music and he became a symbolic composer who, unconsciously, gave birth to a genuine physiognomy for music in Brazil.
His concerts were mainly at theatres, hotels, and cinemas; especially at the famous Cinema Odeon in Rio de Janeiro, where his performances would take place at the waiting room of the cinema and where he became so popular, that people used to go to the Odeon to hear Nazareth, instead of watching the films.
Strongly influenced by Chopin, but also influenced by the rhythms of Brazilian carnival, Nazareth had a difficult life, which ended with his suicide, after he escaped from Jacarepaguá’s mental hospital, where he was an internal.
Although this shows the profile of an instable mental health, his music has an element of happiness that borders the definition of “anti-depressive music”, with its strongly syncopated style and colorful harmonic treatment.
Marcelo Bratke’s CD Le Groupe des Six was voted by Gramophone Magazine as one of the greatest classical recordings of all time.
