Mime Yamahiro Brinkmann is an accomplished virtuoso of the cello and the viola da gamba. She received her diploma in cello performance from Tokyo's Toho Gakuen School of Music, and earned her soloist diploma at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague as a specialist in historically informed performance practices. She won prizes at the Concorso Internazionale Romano Romanini in Brescia in 1995 and the Concours International Musica Antiqua in Bruges in 1996. Brinkmann appears with several prominent early music ensembles, such as the Bach Collegium Japan, La Petite Bande, Concerto Copenhagen, Apollo's Fire, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Barokksolistene, and the Theatre of Voices, and she has performed with them on many recordings. In 2016, Brinkmann released an album of 17th and 18th century cello music, Cello Rising – featuring works by Domenico Galli, Giovanni Battiste Degli Antonii, Domenico Gabrieli, Georg Philipp Telemann, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, and Luigi Boccherini – where she performed with harpsichordist Björn Gäfvert and Baroque guitarist Karl Nyhlin. Brinkmann teaches at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and she performs with the Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble and the Drottningholm Slottsteater. She has recorded for the Swedish label BIS.

Since its formation in 2015, Orpheus Baroque has grown into an important part of the capital city’s music offering, serving as a meeting place for orchestra members and some of Sweden’s foremost freelance Baroque musicians. During the vignette Orpheus Treasure Trove, we hear the ensemble in a smaller format for chamber music.

Deluxe remastering of three recordings that include the three most famous songbooks of the Golden Age (1451-1595). The Sevillian Cancionero de la Colombina and Cancionero Musical de Medinaceli are samples of a musical humanism with a distinctly Hispanic stamp, in which the cultured and the popular come together. The Castilian Cancionero de Palacio is the most valuable and representative jewel of the repertoire performed in the itinerant Courts of the Catholic Kings, including songs, Christmas carols, ballads and ‘extravagances’ by authors such as Encina, Millán, Escobar, Anchieta and Peñalosa.

La Capella Reial de Catalunya, Hespèrion XX and Jordi Savall made them known to the world through these famous recordings made between 1991 and 1992.
