[ARSCLIST] New Sephardic music release from Dorian Recordings Artists, Brio!
Brio is an ensemble devoted to the performance of Sephardic music.
The group performs with period instruments and features the singing
of the dazzling Brazilian countertenor, José Lemos. The colorful
instruments include rebec, viola da gamba and vielle played by Mary
Anne Ballard, and recorders, krummhorn, gemshorn, and Renaissance and
baroque guitars played by Steve Rosenberg. Danny Mallon,
percussionist extraordinaire, rounds out the quartet with a
smorgasbord of hand drums, tamborines, wood block, castenets, and
other exotic items. The music they perform features a panorama of
exquisite melodies and exciting dance pieces from early Spain. One
hears the influence of Moorish musical practice and the melodic
richness which will eventurally evolve into Flamenco. After 1492,
this music traveled with the dispersed Jewish community throughout
the Mediterranean basin.
