Evangelina Mascardi - Dreames & Imaginations - Poeticall Musicke to be sung to the Lyra viol - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the heyday of English Renaissance music, the boundaries of musical forms and instrumental technique were expanded and composers embarked on a search for new, fascinating sounds. Thanks to the outstanding ensemble on this recording - Anna-Lena Elbert, Friederike Heumann (viola da gamba, lyra viol), Evangelina Mascardi (Renaissance lute) and Angelique Mauillon (harp) - this music blossoms again in it's ancient splendor and we can be enchanted by it's beauty, ingenuity and bittersweet melancholy.
