For this album, accomplished guitarist Flávio Apro selected pieces from nine different composers, all representative of the evolution of classical Brazilian guitar music during the late 19th & 20th centuries. What connects many of these luminaries is their use of European dance forms that they then mould into something different by injecting elements of Brazilian musical tradition. Mr. Apro, a specialist in chamber music, is also a highly respected teacher, producer and researcher. This is his second recording for Brilliant Classics, alongside the recently released Nocturne.
