THE MUSIC OF RADAMÉS GNATTALI
Renowned concert pianist Luís Rabello presents "Brazilian Rhapsody," a captivating concert dedicated entirely to the music of Radamés Gnattali. A composer who masterfully bridged the worlds of classical and popular music, Gnattali’s works blend the sophistication of concert music with the vibrant spirit of Brazilian rhythms. From the elegance of his piano miniatures to the virtuosity of his rhapsodic compositions, this program unveils the richness of Gnattali’s musical universe. His works embrace the lyricism of choro, the swing of samba, and the harmonic depth of impressionism, all filtered through his singular pianistic language. Luís Rabello, whose most recent album received 5-star reviews from Gramophone (UK) and Diapason (FR), brings his deep affinity for Brazilian music to this program, offering an expressive and masterful interpretation of Gnattali’s legacy.

Quotes
“Luís Rabello is to be commended. Here’s a lot of high-quality, largely original and thoroughly idiomatic music, superbly played.” Gramophone magazine UK
“A catchy record that argues for more Gnattali on the concert stages.” (Over Rabello’s Album Moto Continuo) Pianist Magazine NL
“Gnattali's rhythmic elasticity, flowing logic and musical multilingualism come together in his Second Piano Sonata, which the virtuoso Rabello delivers with bittersweet eloquence.” De Volkskrant NL
“The brilliant Rapsodia Brasileira (1930) and the Piano Sonata n.2 attest to his pianistic talent and infuse with subtlety the rhythms and melodies of his country. Revealed by the inspired fingers of Luís Rabello.” Diapason magazine FR, 5 stars review
