Info for Glosas - Embellished Renaissance Music

Vicente Parrilla, together with his ensemble MORE HISPANO, explores the 16th Century art of musical ornamentation, diminution and improvisation. His virtuoso and imaginative recorder playing brings new life to songs and madrigals that enjoyed great popularity during the Renaissance. He is accompanied by some of the finest young Spanish Early Music specialists.

“Whereas for most period-instrument bands improvisation means judiciously adding ornaments, Mr. Parilla and company go all out. Raquel Andueza sings the vocal pieces with an appealing, earthy and almost vibrato-free tone and adds inventive vocalise to some of the instrumental workouts. Álvaro Garrido’s vigorous percussion underpinnings have a world-music quality that suits these works. And Mr. Parilla, on recorder, takes turns with the other instrumentalists elaborating on the composers’ melodies, often adding modal touches and varying the rhythms, much as a virtuosic jazz band would do with a group of standards.” (A. Kozinn, New York Times, 20/02/2011)
