Music reviews of Christophorus Columbus: Paraísos Perdidos [Hybrid SACD]

Music Review: A Fantastic Musical Journey
Rating: 5 Stars

Jordi Savall is truly an artist fantastique. Everything he touches turns to gold. Here he gives us a musical journey through the 15th century Hesperia before and during the time of Christopher Columbus where peoples of diverse backgrounds lived together, Muslims, Jews and Christians. You see how slowly over that century a potential Paradise was lost to racial hatred and cruelty which was lamented in music and text. By selection of both text, secular and sacred, and music of that time, he paints a vivid picture of our past. He even includes pieces from South America using a Columbian Flute (Track 14 & 16 of Disc 2) and Quena and Amerindian Drums in Track 15 of Disc 2). Perhaps this was the music that Christopher Columbus heard when he first walked on the shores of South America. That reading is from an Aztec text,

"Do we truly live upon this earth?
Not for ever on this earth, only a short time here.
All things, even jade will crack,
all things, even gold, will break,
even the quetzal's plumage fades;
not for ever on this earth, only a short time here."

It's as if I were transported by time machine back to that time, I really felt that I had experienced the 15th century Spain and Christopher Columbus's advanture after listening to these 2 SACDs.

The music was so beautifully executed and recorded it took my breath away. The music includes pieces by Juan del Enzina, Johannes Corgago, Heinrich Isaac, Guillaume Dufay and original Hebrew, Muslim and Christian themes of the time. I listened to this Super Audio CD on my Denon DVD-2200 player in multi channel mode and it sounded as if I was in a huge basilica, in fact it was recorded in the Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes in the Borough of Port de la Selva in the province of Gerona in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia (Spain) [...]

I highly recommend this SACD. It is absolutely a must have SACD. It teaches us that there is beauty in all religions and peoples. It also comes with a book with complete English translations of the spoken and song texts and several essays, and one by Jordi Savall himself.
