Julia Littleton & Blai Ciurana i Abelli

50 bells: we think it's quite a lot even for four fists. Julia Littleton and Blai Ciurana i Abellí have their hands full with this playlist of Renaissance and Baroque from Castile and Andalucía. Fantasias by Fuenllana, Milán and Mudarra, songs from two illustrious cancioneros and works by Narváez and Cabezón flank music by Correa de Arauxo, the phenomenal organist who, with his Libro de tientos, propel the Iberian Baroque out of the starting blocks.
