With the present recording, OehmsClassics presents
a rarely performed work by the Brazilian composer
Antônio Carlos Gomes in co-production with NDR
Kultur and the Braunschweig State Theatre. Gomes’
music is of course influenced by Brazil, but its atmosphere
is reminiscent of Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”
in many respects, captivating listeners already at the
beginning with extraordinarily effective pieces. This
production is the recording of the German premiere
at the Braunschweig State Theatre in January 2010.
