" Andrew Lawrence-King's name is synonymous with many of the most exotic and beguiling recorded sounds of the pre-classical harp, whether as soloist or within a continuo battery."
- Gramophone
" An intoxicating mix of voices and exotic instruments... total technical command and inspired imagination... a revelation not to be missed."
- BBC Music Magazine
In this fascinating glimpse of the musical life at the court of Charles V, Andrew Lawrence-King and members of The Harp Consort recreate the intricate Spanish "art of improvisation" documented by Luis Venegas de Henestrosa (c. 1510-1570) in his Libro de cifra nueva (1557) - a sophisticated collection of Spanish romances, French chansons, popular dances and polyphonic fantasias, which Henestrosa transcribed for harp, keyboards, and vihuela.
