Vol. 21 in the Naxos Music of Brazil series showcases the music of Oscar Lorenzo Fernández (1897–1948), who was a key figure in the cultural life of Rio de Janeiro. He gained international fame with Batuque, a piece championed by conductors such as Toscanini, Koussevitsky and Bernstein. It became something of a stand-alone hit, but it’s heard on this new release in the context of the entire Reisado do Pastoreio suite. Fernández’s two symphonies suffered neglect after the composer’s untimely death at the age of fifty. These recordings of both those works are premieres: there’s the world premiere recording of the powerful First Symphony, and the first modern studio recording of the programmatic Second Symphony.
