Cello Trio
Tango Brasileiro (Piranha)
The record label says:
Indulge in the velvety tones of 20th century classical Brazilian music, swinging and melancholic at the same time. From the originator of the Brazilian tango - if not the tango itself - Ernesto Nazareth (b. 1863) through Brazil's most famous composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (b. 1889) up to Jaime M. Zenamon (b. 1953) the album includes purely Brazilian composi-tions, rightly famed for their original blend of up-to-date European and indigenous traits. The pieces are interpreted by the Brazilian-German CELLO TRIO of Márcio Carneiro, Peter Dauelsberg and Matias de Oliveira Pinto. MÁRCIO CARNEIRO, born in Rio de Janeiro, holds a professorship at the State University for Music, Detmold, Germany PETER DAUELSBERG, born in Bremen, is professor for Chamber Music at the State University of São Paulo, Brazil MATIAS DE OLIVEIRA PINTO, born in São Paulo, teaches at the Berlin College for Music.

About the ensemble:
The three cellists Marcio Carneiro, Peter Dauelsberg and Matias de Oliveira Pinto first met in March 1985 at a concert in Paris, when they played the first and the fifth of Villa-Lobos' "bacchianas" at the big UNESCO hall with only Brazilian cellists, who live in Europe. The three musicians recognized, that they have so much personal and artistic enthusiasm, that working together should be pure fun and music delight. First the Cello Trio was a project of only private interest, but in the first year of playing together they had already offers for several concerts and in the next year they did their first tour together.
In 1999 they were invited to the international festival "Sandor Vegh" at the Azores to play three concerts, which were extraordinarily successful.
The repertoire of the Cello Trio comprises fin-de-siècle popular salon music by Ernesto Nazareth, ranging from the national musical language of Villa-Lobos up to the modern compositions of Miranda or Zenamon. All these styles and musical elements prove that it is not a contradiction for Brazilian music to stick to its own culture while concurrently adapting stylistic innovations. It is a form of music that knows how to stay local without having to give up a serious international claim.
The musicians:
The Brazilian-German Cello Trio - two Brazilians living in Germany, one German living in Brazil - not only documents Brazilians' love for that instrument, it displays its devotion to a repertoire that could not be more Brazilian in its heterogeneity as well as its aesthetic consistency.
Márcio Carneiro, born in Rio de Janeiro, holds a professorship at the State University for Music, Detmold, Germany. He teaches master courses in Switzerland, France, Portugal, Italy and Argentina.
Peter Dauelsberg, born in Bremen, holds a professorship for chamber music at the State University of São Paulo, Brazil. His current instrument is a Domenico Montagnana cello, built in 1740.
Matias de Oliveira Pinto, born in São Paulo, teaches at the Berlin College for Music. He also works as an editor of contemporary cello literature, arranger and composer.
