Epigrams (Danilo Mezzadri)

Brazilian flutist, Danilo Mezzadri presents the complete solo flute repertory from composers Camargo Guarnieri, César Guerra-Peixe, Cláudio Santoro and Osvaldo Lacerda. Also included is a marvelous piece by Liduino Pitombeira. These influential and important Brazilian composers weave Brazilian Nationalism, Brazilian folk and Brazilian rhythmic elements into their music, all while expanding the art form across borders. The title, Epigrams, is an homage to a hidden gem in the solo flute repertory by Santoro
