Radamés Gnattali (b. Porto Alegre, 27 January 1906; d. Rio de Janeiro, 3 February 1988). Brazilian composer, pianist and conductor. Although classically trained his working life was dominated by popular music. His influence on the arrangements and orchestrations of Brazilian popular music was powerfully felt through his weekly broadcasts on Rádio Nacional which began in 1938, and continued into the mid 1950s. His own compositions are a conscious fusion of classical and popular idioms. Even though Gnattali's association with popular music undoubtedly prejudiced his reception as a classica l composer he was never critical or dissatisfied with Brazilian music. Even towards the end of his life he could say 'I have never been frustrated with making popular music. I do it gladly and enjoy it very much... If I had gone to Europe, I might have been a great pianist - because I had the qualities for it - but I would never be a Brazilian composer'. This programme is primarily drawn from Gnattali 's earliest works. In this period he is either writing melodies in a popular style, or using folk melodies directly, and the characteristic shape of Brazilian song is never absent for long. [Adrian Farmer]
