Founded in 2009, the vocal ensemble Cupertinos is dedicated almost exclusively to the Portuguese musical heritage of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. All the scores used for this recording of works by Pedro de Cristo (c1550-1618) were transcribed from five manuscripts preserved in the Biblioteca Geral da Universidade in Coimbra, Portugal. The recording includes five first recordings and marks an important addition to the composer’s growing discography.
