Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of Portugal! PORTUGUESE SO / BORRALHINHO's latest album, featuring works by the legendary Fernando Lopes-Graca, is a delightful journey through the rich musical history of the Iberian Peninsula.

The opening track, "Divertimento," is a playful romp of swirling strings and jaunty melodies that instantly transport you to a sunny Portuguese village square. Each note is like a sip of fine port wine, warming you from the inside out.

Next up is "Sinfonieta," a more complex and nuanced piece that showcases the full range of PORTUGUESE SO / BORRALHINHO's technical prowess. The interplay between the various sections of the orchestra is exquisite, creating a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and captivating.

But it is in the "Cinco Velhos Romances Portugueses" that the true beauty of this album shines through. These ancient Portuguese folk songs are given new life through the masterful arrangements of Lopes-Graca, transporting the listener to a bygone era of love and longing.

Finally, "Quatro Invencoes" rounds out the album with a modern twist, blending traditional Portuguese melodies with contemporary orchestration in a seamless fusion of past and present. PORTUGUESE SO / BORRALHINHO have truly outdone themselves with this album, and it is a must-listen for any lover of classical music with a taste for the exotic. Obrigado!
