Abstract: This CD contains a selection of sound recordings of the tour series Poetry & Music – Brazilian Sonorities , that Renato Mismetti and Maximiliano de Brito developed on an international level over four years. Prominent Brazilian and German composers, as well as those settled in Germany, participated in this extensive project, especially composing for it works which in the most part were dedicated to the two interpreters, and with them had their worldly premieres in renowned concert halls of Europe and Brazil.In this booklet, except for the text on Heitor Villa-Lobos, the composers reveal their aesthetic conceptions in a direct manner, writing about their own works themselves.

Abstract: Renato Mismetti, one of the supreme interpreters of Brazilian art song [...] It would be hard to imagine a better ambassador than Renato Mismetti to promote the Brazilian artsong. It is also difficult to imagine a more well-suited accompanist for Mr. Mismetti than Maximiliano de Brito. It is clear that these gentlemen enjoy playing together, and it appears that much of the world enjoy hearing them do so (Daniel Thompson, New York Concert Review)
