Fernando Lopes-Graça: Complete Music for String Quartet and Piano, Volume Two
As a committed socialist, the Portuguese composer Fernando Lopes-Graça (1906–94) faced repression from Salazar’s right-wing dictatorship: his works were banned and he was stripped of his official positions.

This recording features Lopes-Graça’s own Bechstein piano, played by Olga Prats, who worked closely with him.
