The Brazilian composer Marlos Nobre died yesterday at the age of 85. This Cello Concerto was given its world premiere in 2019. The soloist is Antonio Meneses, who died of a brain tumor in August, two months after sharing his diagnosis and announcing his retirement. It’s been a hard year for Brazilian music.
