Santoro/ Bittencourt/ Goiania Symphony Choir - Santoro: Symphony No. 4 & 6; Choro Concertante for Saxophone; Fantasia for Violin & Orchestra

The fourth volume in this series explores a pivotal decade in Claudio Santoro's compositions, traversing his move from serialism towards nationalism. The release starts with the transitional, reflective Canto de Amor e Paz and continues with Symphony No. 4, one of his most accessible and influential works, and his brief Symphony No. 6 of 1958. The concertante works for saxophone and violin show his command of dance rhythms, colourful lyricism and virtuosity.
