Heralded by the daily Público as one of Portugal’s premier violinists and by the weekly Expresso as one of today’s most renowned Portuguese musicians, Bruno Monteiro is internationally recognised as a distinguished violinist of his generation. Fanfare magazine describes him as having a “burnished golden tone” and The Strad states that his “generous vibrato produces radiant colours”, while Gramophone magazine praises his “unfailing assurance and eloquence”. Along with his partner João Paulo Santos, this is a very special release of Igor Stravinsky’s works for violin and piano. Featuring some of his well known works including the Suite italienne for violin and piano, Divertimento for violin and piano (from The Fairy’s Kiss) and Three Pieces for violin and piano from The Firebird, this is a welcome addition to the catalogue from these fine musicians.
