La Cappella Cervantina’s back-vowelled sound lends a lugubrious feel to the l6thC counterpoint of Hernando Franco. Lopez-Capillas and Zumaya offer livelier Baroque fare, with attractive strings, but this disc cannot compare with Westminster Cathedral’s sparkling approach to Mexican repertoire on Hyperion.
