Description: | Carlos Gomes was not only Brazilâ??s leading operatic composer, but
he also helped pave the way for Italian verismo during the latter part
of the 19th century. The preludes and overtures from his operas
chart a course from early experimentation with orchestral sonority
to a new conception of atmosphere and tension in his historically
