The Wandering Bard - Leyriath, The Song of Lumino: Vihuela Works by Narváez and Mudarra (2022) [Hi-Res]

With the 5th album of TWB Ensemble, the audience can hear the eternal works of Claudio Monteverdi, Luis de Narvaez and Alonso Mudarra in a way that was never heard before. The majority of the repertoire was originally written for solo Vihuela, an Iberian plucked string instrument from the Renaissance Era, with an addition of the prologue being Italian Baroque; all of which TWB Ensemble executes with a historically informed style.

After the success of their previous release, TWB Ensemble presents yet another legend from the “Manuscripts of Leyriath”, which can be musically experienced through the music from Renaissance Iberia, as well as listened in a storytelling style by the end of the album.

“The Song of Lumino” tells one of the most famous stories of Lumino, the most talented bard of Leyriath, and Delfim, a legendary dolphin.
