César Guerra-Peixe was one of the most versatile Brazilian musicians of the 20th century, gaining a particular mastery of orchestration and creating his own inimitable sound through extensive work in radio, television and cinema. The toe-tapping dance rhythms and lyrical expressiveness in his two Symphonic Suites were inspired by research into Brazilian folk traditions, further enhanced by a broad range of vibrantly eloquent global influences. The light hearted Roda de Amigos mischievously caricatures Guerra-Peixe's musical circle of friends and their various woodwind instruments.
Symphonic Suite No. 1 'Paulista' (1955)
Roda de Amigos (Circle of Friends) (1979)
Symphonic Suite No. 2 'Pernambucana' (1955)
