Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934)
Ernesto Nazareth was a Brazilian composer and pianist. He composed over 200 compositions (tangos, waltzes, polkas, sambas, fox-trots etc.). Nazareth also composed music in a classical style and was influenced by the beautiful melodies, virtuosic flourishes, and harmonies of Chopin’s music.
Here are three recordings of pieces by Ernesto Nazareth. The first recording is a tango called Apanhei-te, cavaquinho played by Maria Teresa Madeira. The second recording is a waltz called Eponina played by Maria Teresa Madeira. The third recording is a piece called Noturno (Nocturne) written in a classical style. I don’t have the name of the person playing the nocturne. Enjoy!
