Jeanne D'Arc : batailles & prisons

"Ambitious and sumptuous ... The recording gives us a spoken narrative of Joan's life interspersed with 'atmospheric' snippets of music either from the 15th century or composed especially to accompany the described items ... The plainsong items chanted by the Capella Reial de Catalunya are magical ... This presentation has been fashioned by Savall as a piece of music theatre, and as a vivid attempt to commemmorate Joan's life it is unlikely to be bettered".

"On admire sans réserves la cohérence de l'évocation et quelques instants de grâcè".
