About

Joly Braga Santos (1924–88) was one of the most important composers in twentieth-century Portugal. In his early works his fondness for modal harmony, absorbed from the Portuguese masters of the Renaissance, and his busy counterpoint combine to make him sound surprisingly close to such particularly English composers as Vaughan Williams and Moeran. Although his harmonic language became more astringent with time, it retained a burly sense of humour and a powerful charge of energy, often infused with the spirit of Portuguese folk-dance.

‘the standard of music-making has been consistently high and has served Joly Braga Santos exceptionally well’ – MusicWeb International

‘All the performances seem close to ideal’ – Fanfare

‘A superb project, superbly realised’
– Gramophone
