CAMARGO GUARNIERI (1907-1993): Piano Music, Vol. 2 - Improvisos Nos. 1-10, Valsas Nos. 1-10, Momentos Nos. 1-10.

Description: Considered the most important Brazilian composer next to Villa-Lobos, Guarnieri had an inestimable impact on the musical life of his country, with a body of piano music that represents the composer’s most distinctive stylistic features. Guarnieri was a consummate improviser and many of his piano works reflect a sense of ease and intimacy, giving the impression that they were composed in a flash of instantaneous inspiration. This is particularly true of the ‘character pieces’ in this volume, from the autobiographical Improvisos and Momentos, to the intimate nostalgia of the Valsas. Max Barros (piano).
