S\u00e3o Paulo Chamber Soloists<\/a>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Created by two leading figures in the Brazilian music scene, Alejandro Aldana (concertmaster of the Theatro Municipal Orchestra of S\u00e3o Paulo) and Matthew Thorpe (co-concertmaster of the S\u00e3o Paulo State Symphony Orchestra), the S\u00e3o Paulo Chamber Soloists (SPCS) consists of 14 string soloists from S\u00e3o Paulo’s foremost orchestras. Renowned for their prominence and versatility on the national artistic stage, the ensemble is celebrated for their refined interpretations of chamber and orchestral repertoire, delivering both flawless performances and outstanding recordings.<\/p>\n

Radam\u00e9s Gnattali (1906\u20131988) is considered one of the greatest exponents of the fusion between classical and popular music in Brazil. A composer and arranger of vast artistic scope, Gnattali is honored in this SPCS album, which explores some of his most significant works, such as the Concerto para Viola e Orquestra de Cordas<\/em>, featuring Jennifer Stumm, one of the most eminent violists of her generation. Another highlight is the Concerto No. 4 para Viol\u00e3o e Orquestra de Cordas “\u00c0 Brasileira”<\/em>, a work that illustrates the composer\u2019s mastery in blending genres like seresta, tango, and jazz with vibrant Brazilian rhythms, featuring special guest guitarist Fabio Zanon, a Latin Grammy nominee.<\/p>\n

SPCS’s performances shine with the lyricism, energy, and innovation that characterize Gnattali\u2019s extensive work, delivering vibrant interpretations brimming with creative vigor and inventiveness. With Radam\u00e9s<\/em>, SPCS reaffirms itself as one of the most influential and inspiring chamber ensembles in the contemporary Brazilian music scene.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>
