Beautiful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Luz y Norte (Audio CD)
The Harp Consort does it again - if you've never of them, dive in and buy. I came across them first in a more recent recording, Spanish Gypsies, which is Celtic and Spanish music from the 17th century. But Luz y Norte is chiefly the performance of the work of a single composer, Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz from Madrid. But he travelled to South America, and collected tunes from Italy and Africa as well. The Harp consort led by Andrew Lawrence King is compsed of guitars, lutes and other renaissance/baroque stringed instruments played by the gifted amateur and professional musician alike. These are delicious, lively melodies, engaging, dramatic and sensuous.

Luz y Norte - Wonderful suprise!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Luz y Norte (Audio CD)
I bought this from Amazon 'on the back' of ordering another CD; it was shown as a 'customers also bought...", so as it was such a snip. I ordered it, and have been enchanted by the often discordent harmonies and unusual rhythms. My son, 16, also loves this. If you like folk or 'early' music, give this a chance, as I am sure you will enjoy it, it is certainly fresh and 'different'. Some of the sounds are unbelievably modern, and put much of today's music firmly in the 'ordinary' category.Enjoy!

Spanish, Italian, South American and African dances of the 16thC.,
By C. B Collins Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Luz y Norte (Audio CD)
This is a collection of Spanish, Italian, South American and African dance, much of it Baroque from the 16th Century. The selections appear to be the repertoire of Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz y Foncea. They are delightful, wonderful listening pleasure.
This CD demonstrates an interesting concept, the falsa, whereby a musician hits a discordant note and then must extricate themselves by integration of the false note using their mastery of harmony and their instrument. Contemporary painters also use this concept of the falsa, a tension crating false stroke of the brush, which the artist must integrate with the other parts of painting. There are many jewels on this CD including a Zarambeques, a 16th century negro slave dance from Mexico. Both restrained and formal danza and more flambouant bailes are represetned here from Hipanic communities in Europe and the New World. A high kick during dancing was a Bolero. The use of original and rare instruments offers a unique sound to this super collection of super music from another time and place. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Beware: If you already own the CD Spanish Dances you don't need this,
By Laraine A. Barker "Laraine A Barker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Luz y Norte (Audio CD)
[...] This CD is exactly the same music with a second CD included that has not much more than eleven minutes of music on it, one of which, Xácaras, is already on the first CD. The other two pieces are Sol Ell Encina (a vocal piece) and Al Son De Los Arroyuelos. I have no idea why a recording company should want to reissue a CD so that it gives the impression to buyers that there is now TWICE as much music from the same source (in this case Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz's Luz y Norte). I certainly bought this CD expecting to hear twice as much music and was very angry at being cheated. I give the CD five stars, but Harmonia Mundi deserve zero.
