About
Lully, Handel, Charpentier, Scheidt, Biber, Schein, Cabanilles, Dumanoir, Rosenmüller, Jenkins, Cererols, Blow: this double SACD-book gathers the who’s-who of European music, to mention but a few, of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries. Deeply affected by the Thirty Years War as well as the War of Spanish Succession, the finest music inspired by this turmoil is vividly performed by Jordi Savall and his ensembles. The set ends with a fantastic and complete performance of Handel’s 'Jubilate Deo'; and, as you have come to expect from Alia Vox, the booklet is lavishly documented.

July/August 2015
Ambitious, magnificent, extraordinary, compelling, fabulous: Jordi Savall’s indomitable vision recreates the soundworld of 100 years of conflict, from the 30 Years War to the War of the Spanish Succession. It is simultaneously a history lesson and an extraordinary artistic achievement … Robin plays with daring, verve and with unflinching attention to colouristic detail. The result is a triumph
Early Music Review April 2015
there is some fine music making here.
the Turkish music is played with particularly brilliant swagger and feel for the orientalism of it all, reminding us that Savall is one of the greatest World Musicians working in classical music. All told, then, this is an incredibly impressive achievement, both as a curated festival of culture — music, art, literature and philosophy — and as a humanitarian exploration. This isn't just an impressive musical release: it's a whole cultural festival within two covers.
3rd March 2015
I was left repeatedly amazed that Savall and his performers are so good at such a wider range of repertoire...This isn't just an impressive musical release: it's a whole cultural festival within two covers. Both for its ambitions and for its artistic standards, it deserves to do well
International Classical Music Awards 2016
Beyond the fact that Jordi Savall and his musicians provide a thrilling and evocative musical picture of a central period in Europe’s history, the presentation of this opulent book and CD is as sublime as it is informative, and makes this release a truly impressive document.
