Toledo, an ancient Spanish capital city famous for its enduring medieval layout, as home to El Greco, and for its layered Christian, Muslim and Jewish heritage, is the center for Mozarabic practice and Mozarabic community.
This recording captures the once-a-year grandeur of the Mozarabic liturgy on the Feast of San Ildefonso, Patron of Toledo, Spain. As a major civic celebration of the year, a day off from work in the city, it is much more elaborate than the ordinary celebrations in the Mozarabic parishes and chapels in the city, though the structure of the liturgy is the same.
