Description

|
|
|
These 19 beguiling selections include Sephardic songs; dance pieces by Robert de Visée, Gaspar Sanz, and Michael Praetorius; anonymous popular songs; "My Lady Hunssdon's Puffe" by John Dowland; "Sad Was King David" by Alonso Mudarra, and much more. "Basque soprano Ainhoa Arteta brings poignant simplicity to an intimate program of medieval, Renaissance and baroque music, mining gold from the deceptively spare text of Bottegari's ballad 'Monicella Mi Farei,' coloring the repeated lines of the young nun's monologue with a dash of secular shyness, shaping the eerie French a capella melody 'Une jeune fillette' with crystalline purity. Guitarist Michael Long, soloist on most of the tracks, partners Arteta's selections with gallantry."—Opera News
