Over 1,000 years, from the Byzantine Empire to the Napoleonic Wars, Venice played a key role in shaping the Western music.
Jordi Savall and his ensembles pay a tribute to a place that fully profited from its privileged links with the Orient while hosting geniuses like Monteverdi, Gabrieli and Vivaldi. As you have come to expect from Alia Vox, this CD-book is lavishly illustrated and documented.
Format : CD-book deluxe - 2 hybrid multichannel SACD
Booklet : English, French, German, Italian, Castillan, Catalan
"Savall's forces place atmospheric Orthodox and other non-western music alongside pieces by composers from Beethoven to Dufay, performing it all with panache" Sunday Times
"Forget the links to dates and events and enjoy these two SACDs as examples of music from Western Europe and points East over a period of 100 centuries, all loosely pivoted around Venice with its trading routes. Much of this music is not otherwise available: though there are several recordings of Guillaume Dufay's music, his Lament for the Fall of Constantinople is not among them." (MusicWeb)
"Typically for one of Savall's concept albums, the presentation is immaculate. The essays - five of them, each produced in six languages - are dazzling, both in terms of scholarly content (good old John Julius Norwich turns up for one of them) and accessibility. The pictures include photos of the original concert performances and reproductions of many art works from the city, and they make this a cherishable thing altogether: an object to hold and marvel at rather than just music to listen to...this is yet another astounding achievement, worthy of every accolade. Buy it and marvel at it." MusicWeb Recording Of The Month Nov 2018
