Joly Braga Santos (1924-1988), internationally recognized as one of the great symphonists of the mid-twentieth century, was equally gifted as a composer of chamber music. This CD, part of the series of recordings that make up the PortugalSom catalogue, provides the opportunity for a more varied appreciation of Braga Santos’s talent via three chamber works that convincingly demonstrate his ever-evolving compositional trajectory: the Quartet with Piano, op. 26 (1957), the Trio with Piano, op. 58 (1985), String Sextet op. 59. These works are performed with the conviction and authority of Portuguese interpreters close to the composer (his daughter among them), including the musicians who gave the premiere of op. 59. An essential disc for the listener hoping to have a comprehensive understanding of this multifaceted composer in particular and twentieth century Portuguese chamber music in general.
