Thanks for that, Joe. Looks amazing.

Otherwise...

Jordi Savall's Diaspora Sephardi is a sumptuous double disk reflecting vocal & instrumental traditions, though best try MDT who usually do Alia Vox titles quite cheaply around December / January - at least they have done these past two years. There is an earlier, and cheaper (and less successful in my opinion) Savall collection from 1975, reissued in 1999 by Virgin Veritas as Music from Christian & Jewish Spain.

There is a Naxos disk, Sephardic Romances from Ensemble Accentus (featuring Pedro Estevan!) which at £5 isn't bad at all.
