Fire Burning in Snow is the final volume of a 3-disc set of Baroque Music from Latin America, performed by Ex Cathedra Consort and Baroque Ensemble/Jeffrey Skidmore. The music is by Juan de Araujo (1648-1712), interspersed with sections of the anonymous Hanacpachap cussicuinin.

Sections of the Hanacpachap had been included on earlier volumes, but all 29 verses are on this final volume.

John Quinn made the album a Recording of the Month and I made the whole series part of my Hyperion Top 30. In case making three discs one choice looked a bit too much like cheating, I opted for this third volume even above the others (CDA67380 and CDA67524 from hyperion-records.co.uk).
