Flores de Musica Pera O Instrumento de Tecla on CD

Flores de Musica pera o instrumento de tecla & harpa is the only known work of Portugese composer Manuel Rodrigues Coelho. Printed in Lisbon in 1620 and boasting more than five hundred pages, Coelho's Flores de Musica is one of the largest music works printed in the seventeenth century. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of it's original publication, a new edition in three volumes has been published with the research being used to inform this major new recording series. Harpsichordist Ana Mafalda Castro presents seven tentos and a piece based on Susanne un jour by Orlando di Lasso recorded on a two-manual copy of a Ruckers instrument, built by Henk Van Schevikhoven in 1984.
