Recording of the Week, Francis Xavier and Jordi Savall

7th January 2008

The viol player, conductor and musicologist pays homage to the sixteenth-century saint and Catholic missionary, who was a co-founder of the Jesuit Order.

Following the success of Christopher Columbus, this beautiful CD-book, in the same format as Don Quijote, with more than 300-pages including translations in Japanese and Chinese, enables us to discover hidden treasures from Asia through the life of Francis Xavier, a Spanish pioneering Roman Catholic Christian missionary who co-founded the 'Society of Jesus', the Jesuit Order.
