Series about and with Catalan gambist and conductor Jordi Savall.
Part 68: part 2 of the double CD ‘Guerre et Paix 1614-1714’.
This episode is dedicated to the most recent release of Savall, the double CD ‘Guerre et Paix 1614-1714’, with compositions about the theme ‘War and Peace’.
The CD is accompanied by a book with almost 400 pages with lots of historic background information about 17th century Europe that was filled with war, conflict, crisis, peace and ultimately reconciliation. It provides a good and representative image of this period in Europe with its conflicts and wars.
Through musical examples Savall will show how the 17th century was a chain of a long and sad series of wars and battles between people and ethnic groups in Europe.
