Capella de Ministrers – El Conqueridor: Music in the Time of James I [CD]

Capella de Ministrers mark the 750th anniversary of the death of King James I of Aragon, 'the Conqueror', with a programme of music from his reign. Drawing on careful recovery of the musical heritage of the Crown of Aragon, the Valencian early-music ensemble brings medieval song and dance back to life.

A single CD from the ensemble's own label, and a vivid reminder of how early music can connect us to the cultural roots of a whole region.

Genre: Classical, Early Music, Medieval.
