The Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth sounds like a cross between Frederic Chopin and Scott Joplin, as demonstrated by pianist Thomas Tirino on a new Koch International release. The music includes exciting, melodious Brazilian tangos, waltzes and polkas. Two world-premiere recordings are featured, plus the story of how host Fred Flaxman managed to get his name in the CD's program notes.

Review of Thomas of Nazareth
Once again, we are in the hands of a wonderfully well-informed guide as we discover yet another composer and his work. As always, the commentary is refreshing, the music inviting, and the atmosphere is a warm welcoming one. I only wish that one of the Boston stations would pick this show up for broadcast!
