Release Notes:
Alexandre Da Costa is a young MontrΘal-based
violinist who has taken the international concert
stage by storm. His debut ATMA recording is a
salute to his roots and features music by two
Portuguese composers, Armando JosΘ Fernandes and
Luφs de Freitas Branco. The latterÆs Sinfonia is
representative of the Neoclassical style that
contributed to a renaissance in Portuguese concert
music. FernandesÆ violin concerto was composed in
1948 and is the perfect vehicle to demonstrate Da
CostaÆs superb talent. Winner of many prestigious
national and international first prizes Da CostaÆs
career is soaring, with recent engagements with
several European and Canadian orchestras, including
the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony
Orchestra, the Orchestre Symphonique de MontrΘal
and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
