Marco Mencoboni

Marco Mencoboni

Utterly exceptional, rarely performed: Marco Mencoboni couldn't believe his luck when he spotted keyboard music in the Spanish Renaissance repertoire that is as original as it is universal. What it has in common with Italian harpsichord literature: a love of variation series or diferencias, madrigal arrangements and improvisatory elements. What makes it so unique: we discover this in works by Antonio de Cabezón, Manuel Rodrigues Coelho, José Jiménez and Pablo Bruna.
