This highly interesting and original concept album presents vocal works from 16th century Spain that deal with eroticism in all its forms. In this music we find the vivid expression of the amorous, private and at the same time playful life of a society that gave expression to its impulses and passions, describing a vibrant tapestry of sound from the Spanish Golden Age of Juan del Encina, Garcilaso, Cervantes, Lope de Vega and Góngora. Works by many now forgotten composers are presented. The excellent, comprehensive and scholarly accompanying commentaries explain the text of each song and illustrate the often double meaning of certain words and phrases.
