Javier Núñez

It remains a mystery why Manuel Blasco de Nebra is not more widely known: this has to be one of the most original voices of the 18th-century Spanish scene! This born-and-bred Sevillian composed music of refinement and melancholy, movement and clarity, full of graceful melodies and spicy sound effects reminiscent of the guitar. Javier Núñez performs Nebra's finest sonatas and pastorelas on the harpsichord.
