The Sound of Brazilian Contemporary Classical

“The Sound of Brazilian Contemporary Classical” brings together a wide-ranging selection of modern classical works from Brazil, highlighting the diversity of voices shaping the genre today. This playlist spans everything from solo guitar studies and orchestral tone poems to experimental works for electronics, chamber ensembles, and extended techniques. Artists like Egberto Gismonti, Clarice Assad, and Paulo Costa Lima appear alongside lesser-known but equally intriguing names like Alexandre Lunsqui, Michelle Agnes Magalhães, and Marcos Balter, offering a mix of lyricism, rooted rhythmic ideas, and avant-garde textures.

Listeners will find pieces like Radamés Gnattali’s jazz-tinged chamber compositions, Almeida Prado’s spiritually evocative Sinfonia dos orixás, and Jorge Antunes’ theremin-led explorations. There are connections to folkloric and Afro-Brazilian traditions in works by Ernani Aguiar, Kilza Setti, and Paulo Zuben, contrasting with abstract, contemporary statements from Eduardo Miranda, Rodrigo Bussad, and Ricardo Eizirik. The playlist flows through contrasting moods and sonic palettes, offering a snapshot of Brazil’s rich and evolving classical music landscape.
