EROS & SUBTILITAS: Early Renaissance music - Ensemble Tasto Solo (Hybrid SACD)

Ensemble Tasto Solo brings us back to the Europe of the XVIIth Century, at a time when Italy was the epicenter of a new style derived from the world of dance. This album revolves mainly around the work of composer Vincenzo Ruffo and his contemporaries. The instruments used in the present recording are typical of the Italian culture of the early Renaissance in chamber music: a small harpsichord without damper in the upper register, a simple harp, a viola da gamba and a lute.
