Volume1 in a new series of recordings of the lute music of Francesco Canova da Milano for BGS records. In t16th century Italy, the musician and theorist Gioseffo Zarlino said that composers wrote counterpoint in the same way that poems, orations and paintings were made. With this new Nigel North recording the stage is set for an hour of music that speaks to the hearts and minds of the listeners. Fantasies and Ricercars composed by the greatest lutenist of the time, Francesco da Milano, better known in his time as il Divino.
