"... well worth investigating ... I am very pleased to have been given the chance to get to know this most enjoyable and interesting composer."
- MusicWeb International
This fourth volume in a critically acclaimed series of Portuguese composer Luís de Freitas Branco’s orchestral music juxtaposes his magnificent symphonic poem Vathek with his final symphony, an appealing masterpiece that combines neoclassical stylishness with late Romantic richness. Álvaro Cassuto, one of Portugal’s finest conductors and an authority on the classical music of his country, is an ideal interpreter of this eminently satisfying yet unaccountably neglected repertoire.
