Menno van Delft

In 16th-century Spain, the clavichord was significantly more popular than the harpsichord. In Seville in particular, the 'monacordio' was the pride of the violeros or instrument makers. Behind the keys the city was also well-endowed: cathedral organist Francisco Peraza is said to have been a fantastic clavichord player. Menno van Delft takes a well-reasoned guess at his repertoire with works by Julio Severino, Hernando de Cabezón and Tomás de Santa Maria.
