Nancy Hurrell performs on Renaissance harp as a solo performer and also as a member of an early music group, giving concerts throughout the US and Canada. Nancy is a harp consultant for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, assisting with the historical harp collection. She is also the director of the Historical Harp Society’s Harp Survey Project, cataloguing early harps. She brings all of this knowledge together on this fine CD of Renaissance harps, “Balletto.” She is joined by Douglas Freundlich on lute on 3 tracks; the rest are solo harp. The music includes several “Cantigas de Santa Maria” from the Middle Ages, as well as lute and dance pieces from the Renaissance.
