Guarnieri: Chôros, Vol. 1 - Seresta

Camargo Guarnieri’s catalog of works represents a legacy of incalculable worth for Brazilian culture, as has his influence as a teacher on several generations of younger composers. The series of seven Choros and the Seresta for Piano and Orchestra represent Guarnieri’s personal approach to the concerto form, with striking contrasts between potent rhythm and dense, emotionally charged soundscapes and melodies full of Brazilian inspiration.
