Hindermith / Sturm - Organ Sons 1-3 & Other Works for Organ - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

As with the first volume in this series (GP767), Blagoje Bersa's piano works are organized according to their character and tonality rather than chronologically. They include elements of transcription drawing on Mozart and Beethoven but also characterful barcarolles that evoke Italian music, a taut and witty Bizarre Serenade, a simple but affecting Mélancolie, and an invitation to a Viennese ballroom in the Valzer, Op. 3.

Fernando Lopes-Graca was arguably the greatest Portuguese composer of the second half of the 20th century. He absorbed successive stylistic influences, but the core of his musical impulses lay in the folk music of his native country, a feature especially evident in his songs. The originality and complexity of his harmonization, the vivid and communicative beauty of his sets of Christmas songs and the subtlety of his settings of Russian and Hungarian songs illustrate a complete mastery of this aspect of his multifaceted art. This is one in a small series of music by Fernando Lopes-Graca on Naxos. Upon it's initial , this album was a MusicWeb International 'Recording of the Year' Inchhis generous including his impressive Symphony is most welcome and is the best possible introduction to Lopes-Graca's music so far.
