More than five dozen strong and counting, Hyperion's series devoted to
the Romantic piano concerto continues to recover absolutely unknown
music. Here are a pair of pianist-composers, both successful performers
in their own time; Henrique Oswald was born in Brazil, while Alfredo
Napoleão was a Portuguese who spent considerable time there, and they
would likely have known each other's music. At least outside of Brazil,
the country's concert music of the late 19th century is represented
mostly by Ernesto Nazareth, whose dance pieces occupied a position in
musical life somewhat similar to that of Scott Joplin in the U.S. Most
concert music at the time would have followed European models, with no
national Brazilian influence. So it is here: much of Oswald's music
apparently follows French influences, but the ambitious opening movement
of the Piano Concerto in G minor, Op. 10, is in the Tchaikovsky mold,
with sweeping melodies that seem to burst the bounds of the
piano-orchestra interaction. The highlight of the whole album is that
concerto's slow movement, which uses the piano in a unique way to
chromatically embroider a big, sentimental melody. The tarantella finale
is not on the same level. Napoleão's concerto is even more grandiose,
with a nearly 20-minute opening slow movement that holds up
structurally, and a fast scherzo and finale. Either one of these pieces
could be added to a symphonic piano concerto program with profitable
results, and Portuguese American pianist Artur Pizarro brings the
desired virtuoso flair, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under
Martyn Brabbins staying out of his way as needed. Recommended for anyone
interested in Brazilian music. James Manheim
