Hespèrion XXI, Jordi SavallIstanbul: Dimitrie Cantemir 1673-1723: “Le Livre de la Science de la Musique” et les traditions musicales Sépharades et Arméniennes (Alia Vox) This release is mainly based on 'The Book of Science of Music,' published in 1710 by the Moldavian prince Dimitrie Cantemir, after many years spent in Istanbul. This unique manuscript enables us to discover rare jewels of Turkish traditional music. Jordi Savall already included some of the pieces from this collection in his album Orient-Occident (AVSA 9848), but he decided to explore it further. This portrait of Istanbul wouldn't have been complete without selections from the fascinating Armenian and Sephardic repertoire that was also familiar in the city during this time. Savall attempts to sheds new light on a Golden Age of cultural dialogue, with the help of Hespèrion XXI and outstanding Turkish and Armenian guests musicians. The result is a 'Jordi Savall experience' that goes beyond far beyond music.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
