Just listened to Adio Espana, one of the best records by the really excellent Baltimore Consort, one of the best early music groups. This is a collection of early renaissance Spanish music, and one of the things you learn from it is how varied that music is. You can find some knowledgeable reviews and samples on amazon here. Early music fans will certainly enjoy this cd, but one thing about the Baltimore Consort is that their recordings also tend to be attractive and accessible to listeners new to the music. It's the kind of record that serves equally well for casual or serious listening. Very good booklet included with a brief overview of the music and all lyrics in the original languages and English -- an example (to stray into another current thread) of why the supersession of CDs by mp3 files is a cultural disaster.
