Lucas Martins & Helber Fernand - Guerra-Peixe Violin Sonatas (2025) [Official Digital Download]

César Guerra-Peixe’s (1914-1993) musical journey began in the city of Petrópolis (today’s Rio de Janeiro). He was born into a family passionate about music, was exposed early in his upbringing to a variety of instruments, and would ultimately choose the violin. A shift from violin performance to interest in composition began when Guerra-Peixe first encountered the ideas of Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade, in particular his thoughts on Brazilian musical nationalism in Ensaio sobre a música brasileira (Essay on Brazilian Music).
In the 1940s, Guerra-Peixe made a successful living as an arranger and composer for several radio stations. This put him in contact with popular musical styles while allowing him to develop his mastery of orchestration and musical texture, form and style. In 1944, Guerra-Peixe’s classical output took a sharp turn towards atonality which would last until 1949 and produce the highest compositional output of his career. After this period he was called away from Rio to a post in the Northeastern state capital of Recife, Pernambuco, where he broke with atonality and focused instead on ethnomusicological research.
