Rafaell Altino takes his art to various parts of the globe as a soloist and chamber musician. In addition, he has served as the principal violist of the Odense Symphony Orchestra since 1997. A strong advocate for contemporary music, his latest album focuses on a significant group of contemporary viola pieces composed by women born or based in Brazil. Presenting BRAZILIAN WOMEN COMPOSERS: MUSIC FOR VIOLA<\/em>, featuring works by Marisa Rezende (1944), Ilza Nogueira (1948), Silvia de Lucca (1960), Tatiana Catanzaro (1976), Rami Levin (1954), and Jocy de Oliveira (1936).<\/p>\n

In Brasil, 1959 \u201cUma Seresta para Villa\u201d<\/em>, Ilza Nogueira pays homage to Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) by incorporating harmonies and melodic gestures reminiscent of his serenades. The piece features the participation of the award-winning pianist Ana L\u00facia Altino, Rafaell’s mother, and the refinement of their duo is evident in every musical phrase. Di\u00e1logo<\/em>, according to its composer Marisa Rezende, “embraces different states of mind”, a premise wonderfully substantiated by Rafaell Altino’s versatile interpretation. The nuances of his art also embrace electroacoustic sounds in Tatiana Catanzaro’s Intarsia<\/em>; and they are girded by them, creating an opulent sonic sea in the process.<\/p>\n

BRAZILIAN WOMEN COMPOSERS: MUSIC FOR VIOLA<\/em> stands as a unique and relevant recording. With exquisite performances and captivating works of contemporary classical music, it offers an essential perspective on the female contribution to the Brazilian artistic scene, weaving a seductive dialogue between different styles. Diverse arts, by women who need to be heard.<\/p>\n
