So bene che la Musica � fatta per parlare al cuore dell'uomo, ed a questo m'ingegno di arrivare se posso: la Musica senza affetti, e Passioni, � insignificante.
- (Luigi Boccherini, letter to M-J Ch�nier, 1799).
Which in English means: I know full well that Music is meant to speak to the heart of man, and to that end I strive to the best of my abilities: Music without feelings or passions is meaningless.
Jos� Miguel Moreno is considered an intimate connoisseur of Spanish Renaissance vihuela music.
For his recording, he devised - in keeping with the performance practice of the time - an additional instrumental line in the manner of a second voice or counterpoint for the pieces by Luys de Mil�n (ca.1500-1561), which were originally intended for performance by one player.
