5 out of 5 stars Danger, danger - too tempting..!.......2006-08-08

No, it's not a bad review.. But don't buy this disc unless you want to get sucked in to a wonderful world of new musical experiences.

It's a clever 'taster' disc that contains some wonderful, intriguing and diverse muscial pieces by jordi and his various ensembles, one or two tracks each from various discs he has made for his label Alia vox. There are the sombre viol pieces, the 'swinging' ensemble tunes, then the haunting pieces by Figuerras (- for me the Sephardic ones especially).

At first I had my few favorites, then I realised that I was beginning to like everything on the disc, then I was in love with some of the pieces because the sound was so delicious and foreign and exciting, and I had to hear more..

At first I wondered why this was such a cheap disc, but it wasn't really cheap - I have now bought eight other savall discs, all because of this one, and no, I haven't been disappointed.

You have been warned.


5 out of 5 stars Music of angels.......2003-12-04

This disc features a variety of players or groups and individuals, including several of my favorites within this genre(time period music) such as Jordi Savall, Hesperion XX and Montserrat Figueras. The music was recorded between 1998-2001. Being relatively uninformed I can testify to the beauty of the timeless music from the ordinary perspective of an outsider to this type of music. My knowledge base is ziltch for time period music but I do know what I like and the music sends my spirit soaring. This is joyful, tranquil music that transcends musical timelines and boundaries infecting the listener with a feeling of peace. Some of the music is written by annoymous authors, much like the beautiful pieces of art you might see in a museum with only the tag of artist unknown, while some is written, in contrast, by well known composers like J.S. Bach. The music has a religious quality, very much like music performed on sacred days in ancient times. One particular song that has the qualities just mentioned is "Alfons V El Magnanim" that is performed twice(as nice) in succession in a slightly different manner. The second version features the lovely voice of Montserrat Figueras and all I can say is, it is exquisite. Her voice is featured on many of the songs and it is as though you are in cathedral and an angel has entered to take you on its wings. Some of the music was written as far back as the 1400's and you can only wonder how many souls this music has touched throughout the ages in one form or another. La Capella Reial De Catalunya further accentuates and compliments the textures by lending their collective voices to the lead vocals of Figueras. There are a variety of pieces or styles offered on this disc including some " Elizabethan Consort Music," a lovely piece by Le Consort Des Nations entitled "L'Orchestre Du Roi Soleil" and some music for the season. The soft, soothing qualities prevail throughtout the disc regardless of who is performing. The musical instruments are played enthusiastically, at times underemphasized but with an exuberance for the time period. If you are in the mood for some quiet music to fill you with joy than give this bargain disc a listen. The booklet is thick with a bilingual offering in English and French quotes but features very little information about the music featured on this particular disc. Instead the booklet is an offering of color photgraphs of the players in performance, including a beautiful portrait of husband and wife team Jordi Savall and Monsterrat Figueras as they are working together. By far the vast majority of the booklet is thirteen pages dedicated to other discs released by the featured performers and the instruments thay play such as harp, viola, lire, luth etc. Recommended music that reflects the season that has universal appeal and longevity. Running time is 78:37.

5 out of 5 stars Hesperion XX and others.......2007-03-28

This is a truly inspirational disc that features several different artists. I came across this disc years ago because of my interest in time period music performed by Jordi Savall and the lovely voice of Monteserrat Figueras in the group Hesperion XX. Both are featured on this disc extensively. Listening to this music is almost like a religious experience, it elevates your senses beyond the mundane for a richly rewarding experience; it is an auditory time warp. Essentially this is a compilation of time period music with compositions mostly from the 1500's. Besides the fabulous work by Hesperion XX the disc also includes some interesting work by Hopkinson Smith on Vihuela while Figueras sings in her lovely soprano voice. There are also some nice orchestra pieces most notably by Issac Ibeniz on "Iberia, El Puerto" which is a lush theme that would sit well in a movie about Spain's Golden Age, Manuel de Falla's beautiful compostion of "El Sombrero De Tres Picos" as performed by Joven Orchestra Nacional de Espana and Roberto Gerhard's "Don Quijote Albada Danza" as performed by the Orchestra Sinfonica de Tenerife. Also of note is the work of Francisco Guerau and the magical baroque guitar of Hopkinson Smith as performed on "Treze diferencias de Canario." Listening to this music reminds one of the grandeur of Spains's past in the Age of Discovery. This is classical album for people like me, who really don't know that much about classical music but realizes good music when he hears it. Recommended for people who like to listen to time period music and the interpretations of Hesperion XX.

5 out of 5 stars This is the best classical music.......2001-02-05

I did'nt really like classical music till i bought España - Anthology of Spanish Music CD. I really, really love this CD. If your an artist and sometimes lack inspiration, I recommend this CD! It will get you in the mood to paint!

4 out of 5 stars Great collection.......2000-11-04

Two complaints: no liner notes so any potential educational value is lost (I have a number of reference books around the house and some of these composers don't show up anywhere in them) and there is at least one extremely jarring organ work that blasts out of nowhere. A more listener friendly compilation would've sequenced the disc differently or left it out alltogether. That said, this is a wonderful collection of music that I have (mostly) never heard before. I'm glad Naive Astree saw fit to put a lot of obscure and out-of-print recordings together to form this audio introduction to an underappreciated canon.

Highlights include:

Track 8 - Jordi Savall (gamba), Ton Koopman (harpsichord), and Rolf Lislevand (lute) turn in a brief but jaunty chamber performance of Ortiz. Left me wanting more.

Track 11 - Hesperion XX give a haunting vocal performance of Morales' Pie Jesu Domine. I'm not one to ususally appreciate this sort of music (so consider me uninformed) but I found this truly beautiful.

Track 15 - features Hopkinson Smith on the baroque guitar performing a fascinating Guerau work. Descending arpeggios like gentle, trickling waterfalls. Smith is a stunning performer. I wish he was better known in the U.S.

Track 22 - from Haydn's original orchestral version of "The Seven Last Words Of Christ On The Cross," this is the one tempestuous movement from a work of mostly subdued music. Deep, powerful string sound from Savall's Le Concert Des Nations. Very well recorded.

While I'd like to know more about the works and the composers behind them there is so much here to be enjoyed on a purely aesthetic level that I can't whine too much. If you have any interest, by all means pick up this bargain. You will be introduced to a number of great performers and works.

            4 out of 5 stars Superbly recorded and enterprising CD for a modest price.......2005-01-24

            Goodness only knows what the other volumes in this ORGAN HISTORY series are like, but if they are all as impressive and enterprising as this one, they will give Naxos serious competition in the budget-CD stakes. Arturo Sacchetti's playing is next to flawless. The only slight fault with any of it is the unduly slow tempo with which he starts Antonio de Cabezon's CABALLERO variations (easily the most often played piece by this composer, who died in 1566); and even that mild complaint can soon be forgotten amid the delightful choice of stops with which he emphasizes the cantus firmus each time it comes back.

            Some splendid music has turned up here, a little of it probably known to students of baroque organ literature - who could well have noticed the names of Francisco Correa de Arauxo (1576?-1654) and Juan Cabanilles (1644-1712) in other contexts - yet much of it utterly obscure. Who in the world, for instance, was Joaquin de Oxinagas (1719-1789)? Whoever he was (the pretentiously written booklet note is unforthcoming), he must have been a formidably talented polyphonist, with - as the booklet points out in one of its few intelligible statements - a Germanic rigor at his command.

            Three of the last four tracks disappoint, because of their intrinsic content rather than because of the player. Someone called M.H. Eslava y Elizondo (1807-1878) treats the magnificent plainsong melody AVE MARIS STELLA to a stuffy and shop-worn meditation; it seems to last far longer than the 5'54" timing given on the jewel-box; his contemporaries in France, Belgium and Germany were writing much finer music than this. Compare this effort to the organ compositions of Saint-Saens, Liszt, Franck, Mendelssohn, or Brahms, and it becomes embarrassing. The INTERLUDE by Jesus Guridi (1886-1961) is at best slightly attractive; the TIENTO by Ernesto Halffter (1905-1989, though this CD describes him as being still alive) sounds interminable, rather like an undergraduate's attempt at mimicking Messiaen. Augusto de Oliveira Machado (1845-1924), apparently director of the Lisbon Conservatoire in his later life, contributes a PRELUDE neatly written but too short to give listeners much idea of him.

            In engineering terms, the disc is superb. No record company is reproducing organ tone more faithfully, or more vividly, than this label manages to do. If you find the contents list appealing, why hesitate?

            La Ley of course. I do like Mana, but La Ley is better and on this CD it is clear to me that La Ley has more hits and better songs.
