About

Bruno Monteiro, one of Portugal's leading classical musicians and internationally acclaimed violinist and recording artist, has enjoyed a 25-year career as recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician. He is accompanied on this new recording of 'Late Romantic Works for Violin and Piano' by João Paulo Santos who for more than four decades, has been associated with Teatro Nacional de São Carlos (the Lisbon Opera House), first as Principal Chorus Conductor, and currently as Director of Musical and Stage Studies. Artistically, João Paulo Santos has distinguished himself as an opera conductor, concert pianist and researcher of lesser-known and forgotten works by Portuguese composers and has conducted first performances of both orchestral and operatic works. He has also discovered and revised the operatic scores for performances of Portuguese operas.

Reviews

... this is one of the more interesting recent violin and piano recital programs to come my way... Beautifully done; a performance that should gain Dohnányi’s sonata an even wider audience than it already enjoys. ... They make the halting, broken conversations and excited gestures intelligible. I’d even say “beautiful,” for the players iron out the more wrinkled passages and connect strands where Janáček has left them disconnected.  Jerry Dubins
Fanfare
This is virtuosity of the most rewarding sort: present, communicative, full of personality [Saint-Saëns]. ... Monteiro’s wonderfully placed syncopation about six minutes in, light as a wink. ... few recitals of recent vintage have given me such consistent pleasure. The recording quality is first class, and Monteiro’s own booklet notes are genuinely informative.  Dominic Hartley
