Guerra-Peixe: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 "Brasília"
Catalog Number: 8.573926
César Guerra-Peixe’s vibrant Nonet and taut First Symphony capture the bold spirit of Brazil’s Música Viva movement—an avant-garde collective inspired by German composer Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. Though Guerra-Peixe’s flirtation with serialism was brief, these early works gained international recognition and remain standout achievements. He later embraced Brazilian musical nationalism with equal success, notably in his richly expressive, award-winning Second Symphony.
Guerra-Peixe: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 "Brasília"
César Guerra-Peixe’s compact First Symphony and the colourful Nonet date from his years as part of the Música Viva group – a collective of young composers influenced by Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, the German composer and teacher who brought serial techniques to Brazil. Guerra-Peixe’s relationship with serial composition was intense and short-lived, but both of these earlier pieces were admired internationally and remain two of the finest works produced by this movement. From the 1950s onwards, Guerra-Peixe turned to musical nationalism with many successes including his award-winning and eloquently programmatic Second Symphony.
