Along with the Canto del Caballero (GCD C80101), a vihuela disc also in the care of Jos� Miguel Moreno, this was the first recording of the Glossa label to be released, back in 1993. In a vivacious and colourful tour of music for the stage, tonos humanos and instrumental pieces from 17th-century Spain, the Ensemble La Romanesca (with the soprano Marta Almajano, the gambist Paolo Pandolfo and Jos� Miguel Moreno, playing the guitar, as it's principal contributors) conjured up a legendary disc which continues being an unsurpassed recommendation and, we would even go as far to say, an unsurpassable one.
