It is with great enthusiasm that CESEM announces the publication of the recordings of Álbum de Armia: gemidos sobre o túmulo de uma brasileira by Alberto Pacheco (voice) and Anderson Beltrão (piano). The album was first published in 1855 in Rio de Janeiro. The ten recordings, made in 2024 at the Grémio Literário in Lisbon, were supported by CESEM (UIDP/00693/2020).
