Light and Shadow from the Spanish Golden Age: a Homage to Miguel de Cervantes

Carles Magraner and Capella de Ministrers present a programme of Spanish music from the Renaissance to the Baroque (1500 to 1650) with a mix of composers and song books relating to Miguel de Cervantes and his chiaroscuro irony. The musicians explore a rich seam of references in Cervantes’ work (and not only in Don Quixote) to the music, musical customs and dance in Spain during the 16th century and the early part of the 17th century.
