Author Description

For over 1,000 years, from the Byzantine Empire to the Napoleonic Wars, Venice played a key role in shaping Western music. On this release Jordi Savall and his ensembles pay tribute to a place that fully profited from its privileged links with the Orient while hosting geniuses like Monteverdi, Gabrieli and Vivaldi. As you have come to expect from Alia Vox, this 2 SACD-book is lavishly illustrated and documented.
