"This is the first complete recording ever of this manuscript, created by a Spanish bishop in 1782, known as the Codex Martínez Compañón (c.1782-1785). It's a bright manuscript of 1411 watercolours and twenty musical scores depicting life in his diocese of Trujillo in Peru. Like many of Savall's chosen manuscripts, it's a funny blend of styles. Clearly recognisable as Baroque music at times, at others the influence of Indigenous folk tunes is evident. The fusion of these styles is where the true magic happens ... As always the musicianship of Hespèrion XXI with Savall at the helm is superb. You never, ever need to worry about the precision of these recordings. Everything they do is perfect, and if it's not - it's done on purpose to show off some aspect of the style of the era ... It is a fascinating look into an era of music people almost never get to hear outside of Peru itself".

"In den 80er-Jahren des 18. Jahrhunderts stellte der Spanier Martinez Compañon eine geradezu enzyklopädische Sammlung der Sitten und Gebräuche in Peru zusammen, in der auch 20 Musikstücke überliefert werden. Jetzt machte sich Jordi Savall daran, den dort niedergelegten Schatz zu bergen ... und lässt diese Lieder in ihrer Volkstümlichkeit wieder aufleben. Das klingt kein bisschen akademisch, sondern so unfassbar authentisch, dass das Tanzbein kaum ruhig zu halten ist und man bald mitsingen möchte".
