About

Many have been eagerly awaiting the recording of the instrumental songs from Antonio Rodríguez de Hita's Escala diatónico-chromático-enharmónica (1751). With good reason, since this work is one of the rare extant examples of eighteenth-century Spanish instrumental music intended for religious use.

The program chosen for this recording is of an exceptional beauty and variety: just listen, for example, to the Canción 7ª - Despacio cantable or to the superb fugue in Canción 4ª en IV tono. The clarity and texture of the lines, owing to the fact that the music was written for a group of soloists, shines through this recording, as does the impeccable sound engineering - a common feature at Lauda - of Markus Heiland.

The seven musicians, all of whom are soloists with the best period instrument orchestras, display their technical prowess and exquisite taste with carefully chosen tempos and dynamics.

This first world recording with original instruments is also beautifully presented and comes with liner notes written by the greatest expert in the field.
