About
This second vihuela-only recording by Jose Miguel Moreno takes its title from Luys de Narvaez’s moving arrangement of Josquin Desprez’s legendary Mille regretz, which he named Cancion del Emperador, the emperor’s song, as it supposedly was Charles V’s favourite piece. Composers like Diego Ortiz, Alonso Mudarra, Diego Pisador and Diego Ortiz are also represented in this 1998 album through a fine selection of their works.
