Digital Booklet

|||||
Fernando Lopes-Graça, one of Portugal’s most prolific and innovative 20th-century composers, was steeped in the folk songs of various provenances. In this third instalment (the earlier volumes are on 8.579039 and 8.579082) Lopes-Graça sets some of the greatest of all Portuguese poets. His exploration of harmonic complexity and progressive writing is distantly rooted in Debussy and laced with other subtle French elements. Premiere recordings of the kaleidoscopic Old English and French songs, which run the gamut of emotions, are among his earliest settings of foreign folk songs.
The pianist Nuno Vieira de Almeida is joined by soprano Susana Gaspar. Volumes 1 and 2 can be heard on Naxos 8.579039 and 8.579082. Orchestral works by Lopes-Graça can be heard on Naxos 8.572817, 8.572892 and 8.573461.
