A MAJOR DISCOVERY This album makes a remarkable revelation: far from being original, many of the phrases uttered by characters in Cervantes’s The Quixote were borrowed almost word for word from popular songs of the author’s day!
A FAITHFUL RESTORATIONAfter 2 years of painstaking research, Jordi Savall succeeded in tracing the original songs alluded to in Cervantes’s novel. In this album he proposes a unique musical journey back to the Spain of 1605: extracts from Cervantes’s text read by a Spanish actor alternate with the songs and a number of instrumental pieces from the period. The album concludes with a work that is worthy of Don Quixote’s destiny: the Pie Jesu Domine from the Requiem by Cristóbal de Morales.
A SUMPTUOS ALBUMThe album is presented in the form of a hard-back book with matt laminate finish. In its 272 pages of text it reproduces, translated into 7 different languages, the complete text of all the sung parts. The 2 SuperAudio CDs are inserted into the elegant pockets attached to the inside covers of the book.
Hesperion XXI/Jordi Savall.
