Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari

Classical Christmas in Latin America As a priest and a professional composer working for the church, José Maurício Nunes Garcia wrote several pieces celebrating Christmas. And in this program, Fiesta celebrates the season with a brand-new recording of his monumental mass entitled “Missa de Nossa Senhora da Conceição.” It is a great example of the early Classical style developed on this side of the Atlantic during the transition between the 18th and 19th centuries.
