About

The new CD book by Jordi Savall.

In the Muslim world Ibn Battuta had the same significance as Marco Polo in Western countries. A relentless traveller, he deeply changed the perception of the Orient among his contemporaries and the following generations.

Morocco, Mali, Egypt, Yemen, Zanzibar, India, The Maldives, China. This non-exhaustive list gives us a hint about the extraordinary journey Jordi Savall invites us to. As usual, Jordi Savall is surrounded by the best experts.

Presented in a lavishly illustrated CD book.

    Nominee - Early Music

April 2019

Like Ibn Battuta’s rihla, Jordi Savall’s musical journey offers a voyage through a somewhat idealised Orient, one held to be the cradle of knowledge, culture and religion in the 14th century…Such a diverse programme and impressive cast of musicians will surely inspires every listener with a sense of wanderlust. Yet it is perhaps the subtext of this album – travelling through the world before modern borders – which is the most poignant part of Savall’s message for us today.
