About

The famous navigator Christophorus Columbus was also a clear-sighted witness of the changes of the XVth Century : the end of 'Al-Andalus', the Muslim kingdom; the Exodus of the Jews and the Discovery of a New World.
 
As always, these changes found their transcription in contemporary musical production. Tracing the original repertoire, Jordi Savall offers an unique journey through the Christian, Jewish and Muslim musical traditions in relationship with texts by or about Columbus and his time. 
 
CD1:
Antique Prophecies, Christian Conquests in Spain and Birth of Colombus, New Ways and Great Projects, End of 'Al-Andalus'
CD2:
The Diaspora Sefardi, Discovery, Legacy of Isabel I and Death of Colon. 
 
Languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Catalan, Arabic & Hebrew
272 pages, luxury hard back book
