Search - Nadia Boulanger, Camargo Guarnieri, Bohuslav Martinu :: Soirées Internationales

Antonio Meneses and fellow Brazilian pianist Celina Szrvinsk celebrate the golden age of the early 20th century music that helped shape multicultural life in Paris, from Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos and Mozart Camargo Guarnieri, Czech composer Bohuslav Martin?, and French composer Nadia Boulanger. After four successful recordings (including a Gramophone Disc of the Month, a recent Editor's Choice, and a Benchmark recording at BBC Music magazine), Antonio Meneses introduces a different partner on the keyboard to explore music from his native land and other forms of expression that Paris evoked in composers from different backgrounds and generations. "Any new recording of [Meneses] is eagerly awaited and warmly recommended." -- Fanfare "Meneses is an aristocratic player who performed with an elegance marked by emotional reserve." -- Boston Globe "Some of the most beautiful cello playing I have heard in years." -- BBC Music magazine
