From Brazilian Northeast<\/h3>
Vladimir Rufino<\/a>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Recorded at the Convocation Hall<\/em> of the University of Alberta, Canada, FROM BRAZILIAN NORTHEAST marks the debut of the solo career of Vladimir Rufino, a violinist born in the state of Para\u00edba. The album presents works by composers from Rufino’s countrymen, in recordings that highlight the importance of chamber music that has been produced in Para\u00edba, as well as in the Brazilian northeast.<\/p>\n

Bringing selected compositions by Jos\u00e9 Siqueira, Jos\u00e9 Alberto Kaplan, Jos\u00e9 Orlando Alves, Ticiano Rocha and Marc\u00edlio Onofre, the artist soberly and exquisitely explores the technical challenges presented by the pieces, incorporating the language and sound of northeastern folk traditions. With the accompaniment of pianists Mathew Walton and Roger Admiral, the album reveals two main trends: On the one hand, the music of Siqueira and Kaplan, which celebrates the northeastern musicality, with sonorities and direct references, and on the other, Alves, Rocha and Onofre, composers who follow the evolving internationalization trends and adopt more abstract and experimental approaches, less centered on Brazil, but always bringing punctual and veiled quotes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>
