Gnattali, Radamés

Radamés Gnattali was a Brazilian classical composer, conductor, orchestrator, and arranger.
Gnattali was a pianist and violinist early in his career, but soon after moving from Porto Alegre to Rio de Janeiro he became a successful conductor, composer and arranger. Though his first works were background scores for radio serials, by the 1930s he was composing concert music in a Neo-Romantic style also incorporating jazz and traditional Brazilian strains.
