Before their expulsion in 1492, the Jews of medieval Spain developed a rich and lively culture, including an exquisite repertory of songs called romanceros--and they kept that repertory alive as they settled in places as diverse as Morocco, Bosnia, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Lovely as the romanceros are, they would have languished as the objects of ethnomusicological studies and might have disappeared altogether, were it not for the efforts of gifted musicians like Hespèrion XX. Jordi Savall and his ensemble, fronted by the unique soprano Montserrat Figueras, just about single-handedly brought those songs to the attention of the modern public with this 1976 recording (now reissued at a bargain price). Disc 1 features a selection of secular music from "Christian" Spain--that is, the courts of Ferdinand and Isabella and the Catholic nobility. The music is elegant and occasionally austere, but Figueras, Savall, and colleagues give the livelier pieces a flavorful swing. Yet disc 2, which features the Sephardic songs, is the real drawing card here. It was in Moorish Spain that Jewish culture flourished, so Hespèrion XX performs the romanceros with Arabic instruments, such as the 'ud (the ancestor of the European lute) and hand drums. These musicians, rechristened Hespèrion XXI in honor of the new century, perform this repertory with more polish now than they did in 1976, but--just as A Feather on the Breath of God did for Hildegard von Bingen--this recording made its own little bit of musical history. --Matthew Westphal

Like a religious experience.......2007-03-28

This disc is pure magic that transends and defies definition. It is time period music that has been rereleased to capture the magic of the original recording. Each song is amazing. The music creates a mood that is best enjoyed alone ,in private so that your thoughts can be elevated to the point of inspiration. Although I like both discs I prefer the one that features Sephardic Romances over the disc that is Court Music and Songs. Montserrat Figueras angelic voice lends itself to beautiful interpretations of these beautiful songs from the Age before the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. This ancient music is preserved and freshly interpreted under the masterful leadership of Jordi Savall for an authentic recreation. If you have never heard Hesperion XX check this one out, it is fantastic. Recommended for classical music fans who want to hear something different. Once you hear Montserrat Figuerras voice you will feel the inspiration and be hooked on her angelic voice.

Dissappointing soprano.......2006-02-22

I was excitet buying this CD, expecting the quality of songs equal or better than
Begona Olavide and Carlos Paniagua on MA recodings. The music was fine but singing by soprano Montserrat Figueras was borderline annoying.

A balm for any soul.......2001-01-02

Attempting to review a Savall/Figueras CD is a frustrating task. The arsenal of superlatives is so quickly depleted. Terms like 'matchless' and 'unique' might be used, but lack strict definition. After all, a 'matchless' voice needn't be a good one. Terms like 'divine' or 'angelic' tend to remove Montserrat's singing from the real and human. She's nothing if not human. Having been blessed with watching as well as hearing her perform, vouching for her vitality on a stage is easy. But the superior quality of her voice and presentation is so far above the mundane or common as to become nearly indescribable. Anything less than adulation for her seems to indicate shortcomings in the disk or performer. Neither performance nor disk quality falls short here. That she performs religious songs here simply adds to the power of her impact on the listener. You necessarily hesitate, cease other activity, and, if moved enough, drop to your knees in respect and admiration. Tough to do in a crowded concert hall, but the motivation is there. And this from someone who shunned listening to vocal performances for many years. Dame Kiri was one exception and Argenta another, but the discovery of Figueras was the discovery of a voice without flaw.

Anyone visiting this page must certainly know of Jordi Savall and Hesperion XX. You may, however, have missed the glory of Montserrat Figueras' voice. Make up for that lack right away. The selections available here are pitifully limited, but this CD is as good an introduction as any. Don't hesitate to sit and enjoy this music. The sounds received will be a reward to whatever spiritual sense you possess.

Ten stars if possible..........2000-01-27

I agree completely with Stephan: outstanding performance. Montserrat at her best. If "Si d'amor pena sentis" doesn't bring tears to your eyes, what does?

Historical re-release.......1999-07-20

Hesperion XX were pioneers in reviving this music, and collectors will value these recordings which first came out in 1976. However most listeners may prefer more recent recordings by Wimmer on Naxos, and Alia Musica on Harmonia Mundi which have digital sound and include Spanish, and occasionally Hebrew, texts and translations.

Sin duda.. uno de los mejores grupos de merengue.......2004-04-21

En este tiempo con tanto artista y con tanto grupo del monton que sale hoy en dia es dificil decir esto pero hay que decirlo. Señoras y señores que leen, Puerto Rico, USA y Centroamerica son testigo del impacto tan grande de este grupo de merengue que sin menospreciar a grupos como Los Hermanos Rosario, Grupomania entre otros. Puede ser la combinacion y el talento de sus cuatro integrantes Juan Luis, Tito, Richard y Raul Armando la que hace de esta produccion hecha en 1998 titulada "Yo Voy Por Ti" una joya musical en el deteriorado campo del merengue. Este disco contiene los megaexitos "Tus Ojos Son" "Mujer Malvada" "Quiero Hacerte El Amor" "Desde Niño" "A Mover La Cintura" "Mi Nena" "Tengo Una Pena" y "Yo Voy Por Ti" componen esta gran produccion. Lo mas que hace especial esta produccion es que luego de esto los integrantes se separaron para seguir sus respectivas carreras por separado, para luego ahora en el 2004 se unieron nuevamente en el proyecto temporero exitoso KARIS.. El Reencuentro, que tuvieron una serie de presentaciones exitosas en Puerto Rico psra luego seguir sus respectivas carreras por separado que dio paso a Juan Luis a integrar Grupomania. Vale la pena destacar que este disco estuvo nominado a los premios Billboard, Tu Musica, Lo Nuestro, Radio Y Musica, Farandula entre otras, lastima que este disco tan bueno no haya sido considerado para el Grammy lo cual pone en duda la calidad de esta premiación. Si no tuvistes la oportunidad de verlos juntos esta ultima vez solo te queda adquirir esta gran producción distribuida por BMG Us. Latin en asociación con RCA Int'l. Si te gusta el merengue, KARIS "Yo Voy Por Ti" no puede faltar en tu colección.
