Description: This collection of Brazilian dances offers examples of late 19th century experimentation by European-trained composers with syncopated "popular" dances (many of these have a conservative, Dvorákian feel to them) as well as more primitive and exciting-sounding 20th century examples. One wonders why this recording has been sitting in the can for 8 years... São Paolo Symphony Orchestra; Roberto Minczuk.
