Francisco Mignone: Doz... - Andrea Monarda - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Francisco Mignone (1897-1986) is one of the key representatives of Brazilian nationalist Modernism, alongside Heitor Villa-Lobos, Oscar Lorenzo Fernández, Radamés Gnattali, and Mozart Camargo Guarnieri. Francisco Mignone, before being regarded as a ‘serious composer’, was successful in the popular genre. Adopting the pseudonym Chico Bororó, he composed many valsas and maxixes: their popular influence can be found in all his later musical output. Mignone’s 12 Valsas (waltzes) are characterized by exceptional technical brilliance and uncommon versatility of styles, from folk to serial composition. Played with rich colors and immense joy by Italian guitarist Andrea Monarda, about whom Ennio Morricone said: “I am truly grateful to M° Andrea Monarda for his precise analysis of my Quattro pezzi for guitar. I am grateful for the attention and the experience of the brilliant professional who, with his sensitive interpretation, ‘discovered’ the secret intentions of the composer.”
