Cantar alla Viola
Nadine Balbeisi – soprano
Fernando Marín – vihuela de arco
Sello – La Mà de Guido
The Vihuela de Arco (Bowed Vihuela) created a foundation of musical achievement present in the majority of the artistic manifestations of one of the most illustrious periods in the history of Spain, known as the “Siglo de Oro” or the “Golden Age,” and its music accompanied notable personages as the Archpriest of Hita and Miguel de Cervantes. It is the musical instrument, which most likely, best represented the Reign of Aragón and is considered the ancestor of almost all European chordophones.
