The program chosen for this album shows a selection of works of Iberian music from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Españoleta addresses the most outstanding musical forms and composers in Renaissance and Baroque Spain, also exploiting the sound resources offered by the Iberian organ in its most original version: a short octave keyboard, split register and battle trumpeting.

The program opens with the entrance of clarinets before playing songs, an anonymous work collected by Martín i Coll that serves as an exordium for the rest of the works. This production is also the professional recording debut of one of the most promising young Spanish organ players: Javier Jiménez. We will introduce more recordings by him during this year starting with a Bach full album in the 2024 spring.
