Antonio Fragoso (1897-1918)

[Balapoel]

Does anyone know of Antonio Fragoso (1897-1918), a Portuguese composer? I have just purchased his chamber works with violin (Piano Trio in c# minor, Violin Sonata in D, and Suite Romantique for violin and piano), and they sound fresh and idiosyncratic, but still romantic. I understand he was self-taught before entering the Lisboa Conservatoire, and of course, before his untimely death from influenza.

Apparently he composed 100+ compositions. All I could find was the piano album by Henriques, the song cycles (Poeme saturniens, Songs of Sunset, both on Youtube in live versions), and an orchestral Nocturne.

I've tried it as well, see http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,2121.0.html

Figures, the one time I didn't check for earlier threads...

Hmm, I see you didn't get a response as well. It seems we both enjoyed the CD. I'm working my way through the songs now.
