Maria In�s Guimar�es, a Brazilian pianist who has lived in France for 30 years, has decided to present a kind of musical counterpoint built around the work of two classic composers of the 20th-century- Heitor Villa-Lobos and Gy�rgy Kurt�g. Both composers share a strong admiration for Bach's music. Both of them transcribed some of the works of the Leipzig cantor. In his own work, Kurt�g is inspired by declamative style (without any restrictions) often without division into bars, even when referring to ethnic sources, which remains in strong opposition to the "Amazonian" poetics of Villa-Lobos, whose music is based on rhythms which are openly inspired by folk music. From a well-thought out combination of musical contrasts, an exceptional album was created, full of it's own color and surprising references.
