César Guerra-Peixe was one of the most versatile Brazilian musicians of the 20th century, as well as one the leading composers associated with musical nationalism in Brazil, gaining a particular mastery of orchestration and creating his own inimitable sound through extensive work in radio, television, and cinema. This album presents three of his best-known compositions, all written in the early 1970s. Guerra-Peixe’s toe-tapping Symphonic Suites Nos. 1 and 2 can be heard on Naxos 8.573925, acclaimed by ClassicsToday.com as ‘absolutely world class.’
