Fortuna: Old And New V... - Andrés Montilla-acurero - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Fortuna Desperata was the most popular Italian song of the 15th century, indeed of the entire Renaissance. It was widely used, was intabulated for both one and two lutes, for keyboard instruments as well as for viols and served as inspiration for six masses as well as at least thirty-eight other derived settings from the 15th and 16th centuries. The recorder ensemble Consort Mirabile has compiled versions from various centuries through to contemporary compositions and recorded them with changing recorder instrumentations.
