ARS MUSICAE - PORTRAIT OF JORDI SAVALL

paola marinangeli | 04/07/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A WONDERFUL SELECTION WITH SOME OF THE BEST PIECES BY JORDI SAVALL AS A PERFORMER AND DIRECTOR. BEAUTIFUL ATHMOSPHERES THAT COMBINE BAROQUE MUSIQUE WITH HISPANO/ARABIC INFLUENCES,I'M A JORDI SAVALL ENTHUSIAST AND THIS IS, TO MY OPINION, ONE IF HIS BEST CD. THANKS AMAZOM.COM"

Not The Greatest Hits..............but still

"The enthusiast who wrote the first review missed one thing and got another just plain wrong.This album comprises bleeding chunks torn from JD's Astree recordings: it's a hits compilation and nothing more.
