Mexican Baroque

1995 Gramophone Award Nominee

This extraordinary album reflects the musical sophistication of Ignacio de Jerusalem and Manuel de Zumaya, two significant composers in Mexico during the 18th century. This glorious music was widely performed throughout "New Spain," from Guatemala in the south to California missions in the north. Chanticleer is joined by the Chanticleer Sinfonia, conducted by Joseph Jennings.

"A lush and dynamic recording. Mexican Baroque is a delightful find."

--Chicago Sun-Times
