Featuring a selection of 24 songs specially selected from the Azul Music catalog, IN FOCUS – CLASSICAL MUSIC is a thematic-inspired compilation, whose main purpose is to provide a musical listening directed on moments of study, concentration and focus.

With well-known works from the traditional classical repertoire, as well as pieces by contemporary composers, the album presents a set of interpreters of different expressions, functioning as an introduction to the universe of classical music for new audiences: From Mozart to Satie, passing through Rossini, Beethoven, Chopin and Villa-Lobos, the repertoire offers a non-intrusive and remarkably mild listening experience, assisting the listener in activities in which concentration and memorization are required.

There is a wide variety of studies that point to classical music as an excellent tool to produce calming effects. According to Dr. Kevin S. LaBar, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, by stimulating the brain to release dopamine (a hormone associated with pleasure), music inhibits the release of neurotransmitters associated with stress and anxiety, thus increasing brain cognitive activity, which facilitates the process of learning and retaining knowledge.
