Overview
The album Hortus Musicus – Thousand Years Of Music (Issue II), performed by the Madrigal Ensemble under the artistic direction of Andrey Volkonsky, offers a captivating journey into the Renaissance period of Spanish music. Highlighting the richness of Spain's cultural and artistic evolution during this era, the collection features a blend of secular and sacred compositions. This includes motets by Cristóbal de Morales and Tomás Luis de Victoria, the vibrant villancicos of Juan del Encina, and instrumental works by Diego Ortiz and Miguel de Fuenllana.
The ensemble's meticulous interpretation breathes life into pieces such as "O Magnum Mysterium" by Victoria and the evocative "Ricercar" by Ortiz. Additionally, the album showcases rare traditional works, including two Sephardic songs, whose exotic tonalities reflect the interplay of Spanish and Middle Eastern influences. This collection not only reflects the historical and cultural intricacies of 15th and 16th-century Spain but also highlights the evolution of polyphonic techniques and instrumental artistry.
