El Cant De La Sibil-La

A lovely performance of very interesting music. The Song of the Sybil is liturgical piece featuring a prophecy about the Christian Apocalypse. Apparently once performed widely in Catholic Europe, it fell out of favor during the Counter-Reformation. It apparently persisted in Mallorca as an annual Christmas tradition, where it continues to be performed annually. This performance is a reconstruction of versions performed in 15th and 16th century Mallorca and Valencia. The soloist, Montserrat Figueras, the chorus, and the instrumentalists, led by the outstanding Jordi Savall, are all excellent. This is powerful and haunting music.

GREAT CD.... Okay packaging and shipping. Good seller. This is now my favorite CD and Ive listened to it about a dozen times. Strongly recommended.
