Claudio Santoro Sonatas: A Legacy Brought to Life
Alessandro Santoro’s deep understanding of his father’s music is evident. These sonatas demand exceptional skill from the performer, and Alessandro delivers masterfully. His interpretations provide a clear and compelling insight into his father’s artistic vision.
Santoro Symphonies Revel in Brazilian Sound
I recommend this release to anyone not familiar with Santoro. These works illustrate the essence of his style. That style evolved. But his Brazilian heritage can be most clearly heard in these works. Looking forward to volume five!
Claudio Santoro Symphonies Break with Symphonic Form
The Goiás Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Neil Thomson deliver some invested performances. I suspect many of these musicians played under Santoro in other orchestras.
