Brazilian composer
'Mignone's mark on the wider world, such as it is, comes from orchestral works, but the piano music here is a revelation. Mellower in harmony than his contemporary Heitor Villa-Lobos, he integrates home-grown elements into a mainstream Parisian language with a deftness and variety of texture that recall Albéniz. Genres range from numerous kinds of valse to a two-movement Sonatina with sophisticated developments of vernacular materials. All this is confidently encompassed by Iruzun with terrific energy and verve, in honest unadorned sound like a piano in a room rather than a producer's plaything'. BBC Music Magazine Francisco Mignone is a major figure in Latin American Classical Music and one of the greatest Brazilian composers since Villa Lobos. Acknowledged by eminent musicians such ass Richard Strauss anda Toscanini, his music is original and very appealing. This CD is probably the first recording to offer a complete survey of his piano music from both a chronological and stylistic point of view. This recording by the brilliant Brazilian pianist Clelia Iruzun contains works like his ever popular Congada to the last of his Brazilian Waltzes.
