Choral Works Vol 1: Cappella Works 1

As a committed socialist and Communist Party member, the Portuguese composer Fernando Lopes-GraÃ§a (1906â€“94) faced repression during the years of Prime Minister's Salazarâ€™s right-wing dictatorship (1932-1968). His works were banned and he was stripped of his official positions. Lopes-GraÃ§a responded in music, evolving a feisty, wiry BartÃ³kian style that drew on Portuguese folk-music. This recording features Lopes-GraÃ§aâ€™s own Bechstein piano, played by Olga Prats, who worked closely with him.
