Today’s “What They’re Listening To” surveys recordings of 16th and 17th century music in late- and post-Renaissance Spain.
It is the third of three installments of CD recommendations on early Spanish music by John W. Barker, a retired University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of medieval history. Barker is also a nationally recognized record and music critic who sits on the Madison Early Music Festival advisory board.
“Early Music From the Iberian Peninsula: Spain and the Age of Discovery” is the theme of this year’s festival, to run July 8-15.
