When the first accordion was patented, all the works in this programme except one had been in existence for centuries. Countertenor Carlos Mena and accordionist Iñaki Alberdi have mustered an adventurous spirit to give us novel performances of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Josquin Desprez and Tomás Luis de Victoria, accompanied by an accordion. They extend an invitation to contemporary composers to make new readings of works of the past and thereby create new compositions.
