Description
Dies ist der faszinierende „Soundtrack“ zur wahren Geschichte des Francisco de Cuellar, der im Jahre 1588 als Kapitän der spanischen Armada die Schlacht gegen die Engländer verlor, in Seenot geriet und in Irland strandete. Von den Iren aufgenommen, gelang ihm über Antwerpen schließlich die Flucht in die spanische Heimat. Mit einer Zusammenstellung aus zeitgenössischer spanischer, englischer und irischer Musik vertont das Ensemble eX die spannenden Reiseaufzeichnungen des Francisco de Cuellar und lässt den Zuhörer tief in dieses auch musikalisch Goldene Zeitalter eintauchen.

Performed by renowned early music virtuosi and celebrated traditional Irish musicians, the evocative soundtrack brings to life the stranger-than-fiction odyssey of Francisco de Cuellar, a captain from the Spanish Armada who was shipwrecked in Ireland in 1588 and spent seven months on the run from Queen Elizabeth’s forces there.
