Oscar Lorenzo Fernândez, born in 1897, was ten years younger than Heitor Villa-Lobos, and he is best known for an orchestral piece called Batuque, that is rooted in Afro-Brazilian rhythms. Yet his music generally doesn't sound much like Villa-Lobos', and this collection of his short keyboard pieces (he wrote about 80 of them) from pianist Martin Jones is welcome. Some of them are early works that follow Debussy rather than Villa-Lobos and have little specifically Brazilian content. Even in this student phase of Fernândez's career, he seems to have had a characteristic lyrical quality. The centerpiece is a trio of 1930s works called Suite Brasileira, each with three movements. Even here, Fernândez is not really a follower of Villa-Lobos. In a way, he is more conservative, but this means he can explore charming Brazilian pop genres like the modinha and the serenade-like semesta that Villa-Lobos rarely touched. He was also capable, however, of the big, public-facing Afro-Brazilian mode, as can be heard in the Jongo finale of the Suite Brasileira No. 3. Pianist Martin Jones seems to have undertaken this project out of sheer enthusiasm, and it is likely to find admirers even in Brazil; he catches a quiet tuneful quality in Fernândez's music that makes for delightful listening. The Nimbus label backs him up with ideal sound from the Wyastone Estate Concert Hall.
