A sumptuous selection of Spanish Baroque music from the Royal Alcazar of Madrid.

Boasting a wealth of famous writers it is a true and rare treasure of Spain’s Golden Age. On period instruments sensual melodies and infectious rhythms combine in a program of pure delight.

This music is from the early Renaissance, a time when the Kingdom of Naples was a gateway for cultural exchanges and a hub of artistic vibrancy. Composers and musicians flourished at the cosmopolitan court of Alfonso V and the intriguing songbook Cancionero de Montecassino captures the depth of diversity in language and styles that emerged.
