The ear of Christopher Columbus
2019 | Sony Music | Deutsche Harmonia Mundi
CD info
This recording shows the three musical styles that coloured the aural environment of Christopher Columbus: the lively Italian strophic profane music from the homeland of his childhood; the Spanish love songs, with their unique melancholy, from the court of the Catholic Kings; and the Franco-Flemish virtuosic polyphony that Columbus surely heard during his last years at the Spanish court in Valladolid. The result is a wonderful discovery of the most famous Discoverer, illuminated by the beautiful voices of the Huelgas Ensemble.
