Murcia Tarantellas

This is a theme I am still trying to get my head around. Im sorry if I am repeating. I just got a chance to work on the murcia tarantella in the Codex Saldavar 4, and have been working on the tarantela in the Resumen. and as I get the chance I have been watching players on youtube. Rolf Lisveland in particular. I really like his interpretation, but I can only reconcile parts of it with Murcia.

Can anyone recommend a recording that sticks closer to the text for comparison sake?

The entry for Santiago de Murcia in the New Grove dictionary at Oxford Online has recently been updated by yours truly. The relevant articles by Alejandro Vera are in the journal Early Music vol. xxxv no.2 2007 and Vol. xxxvi no. 4 2008. His edition of Cifras selectas is published by A-R Editions Inc. P.S. the entry for Murcia in Wikipedia is also accurate.
