Chamber music of Spain and Latin American has a strong and original character, defined by folkloric and popular music. We’ll hear this synthesis in works by two composers for Catalonia, Spain: Eduard Toldrá and the most famous cellist in history Pau Casals. And two 20th century composers from Brazil: Claudio Santoro and Mozart Camargo Guarnieri.
