The French record label Paraty is pleased to announce the release of the world premiere recording of Matinas de Natal by Marcos Portugal. This monumental work, composed in Rio de Janeiro in 1811 and recorded by the Turicum Ensemble, is the first sacred work by the composer to be successfully restored by musicologists.  Marcos Portugal forged a brilliant career as a composer, equally at home in Europe and the New World. Having spent ten years composing sacred music and opera in Portugal, Marcos Portugal moved to Italy, where he spent an intense six and a half year sojourn. During this period he wrote twenty –two operas that enjoyed unprecedented success; productions were counted in the hundreds and concerts in the thousands. The phenomenon soon overflowed beyond the Italian borders and from 1793 his comic operas were performed throughout Europe, not only in Italian but also in German, Portuguese and Russian. The comic operas were then premiered in Brazil, and following 1793 they were performed in every major theatre in the country. The Turicum Enslemble was founded in 1992 by Luiz Alves da Silva and Mathias Weibel to disseminate the vast repertoire of the Iberian Peninsula and South America. The ensemble previously recorded six CDs of Brazilian music as well as the European music which directly influenced composers in the New World.
