Complete Tientos & Variations

"El ciego ta+Ãedor" or "the blind keyboardist", Antonio de Cabez+Ãn was one of the most inspired masters of his day and a prot+Âªg+Âª at the court of King Philip II (whose favourite painting, reproduced on the cover of the booklet, came into his possession while Cabez+Ãn was with him in Brussels in 1555). Keyboard music was attaining a status equal to vocal polyphony at this time, and Cabez+Ãn's sophisticated Tientos are at the forefront of a rapid rise in a new intensity of expression. Where the Tientos relate to vocal styles the Variations can frequently be traced to popular songs and dance tunes such as the Fol+Âa. Glen Wilson studied at The Juilliard School before moving to Holland in 1971 as a student of Gustav Leonhardt. He was active in Dutch musical life for twenty years before moving to Bavaria as professor at the Music University of W++rzburg. He has since conducted his edition of Monteverdi's Ritorno di Ulisse in patria for the Netherlands Opera over sixty times on three continents.
