DISCOGRAPHY
LA VIDA BREVE (play on Spotify)
This album, which has been highly praised by international critics, is a musical voyage with French-Swiss cellist Nadège Rochat, exploring Spain and South America. The guitar gives a very special tone addition to a singing and vibrant cello.
CLASSICA BRASILIANA
Rafael’s first non-recital CD and recording collaboration with other musicians. This Brazilian album approaches Milhaud’s outsider’s vision and classical Brazilian folk by popular musicians like Pixinguinha.

The repertoire’s quality on this album is unsurpassed, being an unusual guitar album with music by Bach, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Ravel, Debussy, Gershwin and Scarlatti. This is an enormous challenge for any guitarist.
