Por Los Montes De Cona... - Amystis,la Chimera Consort,josé Duce Chenoll - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

This highly interesting and original concept album presents vocal works from 16th century Spain dealing with eroticism in all its forms. In this music we find the vivid expression of the amorous, sexual, private and at the same time playful life of a society which gave expression to its impulses and passions, thus describing a vivid sound tapestry of Spain’s Golden Age of Juan del Encina, Garcilaso del la Vega, Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega and Luis de Góngora. Presented are works by many, nowadays forgotten, composers. The excellent, comprehensive and scientific liner notes explain the text of each song, illustrating the often double meaning of certain words and phrases. The title of the CD takes up the title of a poem by an anonymous Spanish poet (“Through the mountains of Coñares”). Sung by the Amystis solo vocalists and played by a rich instrumental group including viola da gamba, recorders, vihuela and percussion, everything under the direction of José Duce Chenoll.
