NAXOS LAUNCHES ‘THE MUSIC OF BRAZIL’ SERIES

In February 2019 NAXOS released Symphony in G minor and other orchestral works by Brazilian composer Alberto Nepomuceno, performed by the Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Fabio Mechetti. This release marks the start of an ambitious project, Brasil em Concerto, developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promoting music by Brazilian composers dating back to the 18th century. The series will see NAXOS release 100 orchestral works from 19th and 20th century Brazilian composers over the next few years, performed by the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, the Minas Gerais Symphony Orchestra, and the Goiás Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a selection of vocal and chamber music.
