RADAMÉS GNATTALI (1906-1988): Sonata for Cello and Guitar (Natalia Khoma [cello]), Sonatina for Flute and Guitar (Tacy Edwards [flute]), Dansa Brasileira, Toccatas em ritmo de samba Nos. 1 & 2 and Saudade for Solo Guitar, Retratos for 2 Guitars (Marco Sartor [second guitar]).

Description: Some of these works mix Afro-Brazilian rhythms and folk traditions with European forms; the titles will tell you which are the most Brazilian in style but all of them have Brazilian elements to some extent and all are sun-drenched, warmly melodic, often infectiously rhythmic and delightful pieces which should appeal even to guitar non-specialists. Marc Regnier (guitar).
