About

Early in 1870, a codex containing early Spanish vocal music had been discovered in the library of the Palacio Real in Madrid.

The pieces which had been copied into the manuscript entirely unknown up to that point included compositions from the celebrated Juan del Encina and from many other, little-known, contemporaries of his.

The first modern edition of the suitably entitled iCancionero de Palacioi was published in 1890, immediately becoming a cornerstone of Spanish historical musicology. Later editions and studies consolidated the status of the Cancionero as a landmark in Iberian music.

Reviews

“…The voices of Florencia Menconi (mezzo-soprano), Jonatan Alvarado (tenor) and Breno Quinderé (baritone) complement each other wonderfully, forming a clearly and differentiatedly balanced unit that performs these Renaissance chansons with much grace and poetry. In his never obtrusive manner, Ariel Abramovitch complements this fine musical tableau, which tells much of love, longing and hope. It makes little difference whether the music is secular or sacred. The effect achieved here is equally intimate expressivity and tender lyricism.” ****
