November 21st was a sad day for Brazilian music; Almeida Prado died in Sao Paulo, at the age of 67. A student of Messiaen, Boulanger, Foss, and Ligeti, Almeida Prado loomed large in the vibrant classical music scene of 21st century Brazil.
Here is a fitting tribute: cellist Antonio Meneses plays Preambulum.
