This 2024 release is part of the Naxos label's Music of Brazil series, developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Would that other countries' governments had such an activist agency to back national culture! The series has resulted in a number of important and enjoyable albums, and this collection of works by José Antônio de Almeida Prado (1943-2010) is among them. Only the first two works, Le livre magique de Xangô and Das Cirandas, are for violin and cello; the rest are solo pieces. Despite this minimal palette, the music is varied and attractive. The first two works refer to folk melodies. A "ciranda" is a children's folk dance that was also exploited by Villa-Lobos, who was certainly a central inspiration here, but there is a postmodern quality that takes the music out of the realm of imitation. The Four Seasons allude to Vivaldi (which Villa-Lobos wouldn't have done) and also to Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Op. 24 ("Spring"); the work, composed for young players, has a delightful variety of programmatic effects for a solo work. The Praeambulum was commissioned by cellist Antonio Meneses as a prelude to one of Bach's Suites for unaccompanied cello. The music is expressive rather than particularly virtuosic throughout, and violinist Emmanuele Baldini and cellist Rafael Cesario capture its friendly qualities. A lovely rendition of music that will almost certainly be unknown to all but Brazilian listeners.
