Ricardo Herz is a young brazilian violinist whose music mixes the very best of Brazilian popular rhythms performed under the influence of his classically trained ear. He studied jazz at Berklee College and with Didier Lockwood in France. He currently performs at the best stages of Europe and Brazil.
Back home in Brazil, Herz won the popular jury at Visa Prize for Brazilian Music in 2004. Since then, he released his first solo album, Violino Popular Brasileiro (Brazilian Popular Violin) and has performed with talented artists such as Yamandu Costa, Hamilton de Holanda and the forró legend Dominguinhos.
Herz’s repertoire is extremely rich in instrumental Brazilian melodies and ranges from Northeastern rhythms to choro, samba and its multiple variables.
His research and indepth knowledge of Brazilian music inspired his second solo album, Brasil em 3 por 4, which will include famous popular waltzes by composers Milton Nascimento, Pixinguinha and Djavan. Experimenting his home studio, Ricardo recorded all the violins on this album. He plays the bases, the solos and everything else. He says: “I’ve always wanted to record a solo album playing in duos, trios and quartets, all by myself!”, he laughs. The album will be released in September 2007.
Currently, Ricardo lives in Paris and, aside from his solo work, he performs with the groups Orquestra do Fubá and Tekere. Orquestra do Fubá is a forró band made up of young , dynamic French and Brazilian musicians .
