Music reviews of The Forgotten Kingdom/Le Royaume Oublie

Music Review: Savall at his best
Rating: 5 Stars

In a perfect world, Jordi Savall would be officially proclaimed a Universal Treasure. I've been collecting his recordings since Hesperion was only XX. He doesn't just record music, he creates a cultural/philosophical concept and fills it with appropriate "illustrations." For his American debut tour, which I attended in Houston just this past October, he and his ensemble traced the connections between Hispanic music in the Old and New Worlds. The only negative comment from a critic was that Savall didn't play enough music highlighting his instrument. Not enough of a great thing!
The cultural world is replete with "high concept art." Too often, the concept isn't realized in the execution. The philosophy overwhelms the art-making. Not so with Savall and his forces. They are all, above all, consummate artists. They bring skill and commitment to their music-making. The ensemble could easily stand on its artistic legs without an overriding philosophical context. A concert isn't a lecture. Reminds me of a comment made about Umberto Eco's masterful "The Name of the Rose" -- even if you don't get off on Medieval Church history and philosophy, it is still a crackling good murder mystery.
On the high of actually experiencing Savall live and being a student of the Albigensian movement since hearing Claude Marti's haunting "L'Agonie du languedoc," on an ancient Studio der Fruehen Musik vinyl disc, I bought Savall's treatment of the subject. It was well-worth every dollar it cost.
Like vintage wine or single-malt, it must be sipped and savored, not gulped. To actually sit down in a comfortable chair, with the beautifully written and illustrated book on my lap, and let the phenomenal sound play through a home theater audio setup, was like being enveloped by the timelessness of a Medievel cloister -- specifically, for me, The Cloisters in New York where I was turned on to Medieval art and music as a teenager. Listening to this three-disc set is a whole day affair -- and one that amply rewards the time spent -- but, then again, in a Medieval cloister, time is irrelevant.
So, too, is retirement -- which I expect to spend in the company of Jordi Savall and his ensembles.

Description of The Forgotten Kingdom/Le Royaume Oublie

Catharism was the name given to a Christian religious sect that appeared in the Languedoc region of what is now southern France and flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. The Cathars saw matter as intrinsically evil. They denied that Jesus could become incarnate and still be the son of God and thus, the Catholic Church regarded the sect as dangerously heretical. Faced with what they saw as a rapidly spreading cancer, the Church called for a crusade, which was carried out by knights from Northern France and Germany and was known as the Albigensian Crusade. This campaign, and the inquisition that followed it, eradicated the Cathars completely. It also had the effect of weakening the semi- independent southern principalities in the area, ultimately bringing them under direct control of the King of France. Occitania, once a crossroads of many cultures, was one of the victims of the Albigensian Crusade. Occitania s refined culture culminated in the troubadour tradition, which subsequently spread to Italy, Spain and Greece. Related movements sprang up throughout Europe: the Minnesingers in Germany, trovadorismo in Galicia and Portugal and the trouvères in northern France. On this album, Jordi Savall not only explores the classical period of the troubadour school from around the turn of the 13th century, but also provides us with a comprehensive historical and artistic background of this Golden Age. It is time we remembered this forgotten kingdom where much of what we call Western culture was incubated.
