Miniaturas Brasileiras

Featuring works by renowned Brazilian composers, in arrangements for cello duets, trios and quartets, written and performed by Raïff Dantas Barreto, MINIATURAS BRASILEIRAS delineates the boundaries between the classical repertoire and popular music.

The album features pieces by Edmundo Villani-Côrtes, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Djalma Marques and Gustavo Tavares, among others. When exploring the repertoire, with contemporary Brazilian scores, Dantas Barreto innovates with proportion and maturity, adding new sonic nuances to themes originally written for guitar (as in Prelúdio No. 3, by Villa-Lobos) and highlighting pieces never recorded before, without fear of establishing parameters.

The cohesive result impresses for the balanced sound, leading the cello to be a protagonist in some of the most beautiful moments of contemporary Brazilian chamber music.
