"Jordi Savall has an impressive track-record realising music from the Iberian Peninsula/al-Andalus in the centuries prior to the consolidation of Spain under Castile and Leon. Much of that music, with its rich blending of elements from Christian, Muslim and Judaic traditions, remains somewhat exotic to modern northern ears. As ever, Sadall points up the sources' colour, vitality, expressiveness and socio-political context in an exciting, fascinating and utterly beguiling programme ... The singers are superb ... the realisations and performances are consistently moving and beautiful".
