This rich collection may give today’s listeners a small impression of the flourishing international musical life at the Aragonese court in Naples in the second half of the 15th century: Sacred hymns and motets, but also Franco-Burgundian chansons, Spanish canciones and Italian strambotti and ballate bear witness to an enormously artistic era.
