Reviewer: Pierre
Doridot
Abridged version :
"Savall
has brought together his usual collaborators – La Capella Reil de
Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI – with performers of traditional music.
The project is fascinating, offering a mixture of the three religious
aspects of this “Holy” city, Jerusalem which is Jewish, Christian and
Muslim. The objective is to be together in diversity without
forgetting one’s individuality… We have here a selection of sacred
music and popular Muslim music."
This is a “… a CD-book which is the result of superb editorial and
musicological research.”

Reviewer: J.F. Weber Abridged version : "The subtitle is “City of heavenly and earthly peace” (recall Christopher Page’s disc, “Jerusalem, Vision of Peace,” 22:4), and the program follows the history of the city for over 3,000 years. The eras are three (but really four): first Jewish, then Christian, then Arab and Ottoman. In order to furnish music for these periods, Savall used not only his familiar multinational ensembles but also Jewish singers from Israel, Palestinian singers, and musicians from all over the Middle East. The original idea came from an invitation to present a series of programs in Paris on the three monotheistic religions. Savall realized that Jerusalem was obviously the unifying element for such a theme. " "The program is extremely unusual, for the only composers one might regard as familiar are Alfonso el Sabio and Marcabru. Alfonso’s cantiga O ffondo do mar has its first complete recording to my knowledge, a story of pilgrimage to the Holy Land that fits the program. Marcabru’s Pax in nomine Domini and the anonymous Chevalier mult estes guaritz are more nearly complete than David Munrow’s versions on his Crusade program, where the brief anonymous O totius Asie gloria is also duplicated. Audi Pontus from Codex Las Huelgas has been recorded by Sequentia, Discantus, and Mille Fleurs equally well. But the remainder of the 52 tracks are largely unfamiliar, consisting of ethnically diverse music representing the long history of the city and readings in several languages. One brief but haunting piece is Apo xeno meros , sung by Capella Reial in Greek. One track has been added as a historical witness, a lament for the dead of Auschwitz recorded in 1950 by Shlomo Katz. Nice touches that bring the program around full circle are a “fanfare of Jericho” at the beginning, marking the Hebrew destruction of that city’s walls (dated 1200 B.C. here), and a discordant “fanfare against the barriers of the Spirit” dated 2008, both composed by Savall. " This article is available on the web to subscribers of Fanfare. |
