Series about and with Catalan gambist and conductor Jordi Savall. In this episode, you can listen to the CD project ‘Le Royaume Oublié’ from 2009.
The three-part CD box (including an extensive documentary) ‘Le Royaume Oublié’ is about the story of heretics, the Cathars or Albigensians in the south of France in the 12th and 13th century.
Jordi Savall strengthened his ensemble, Hespèrion XXI, with musicians from all corners of the world to perform all influences of the historical region of Occitanie, Le Pays d’Oc.
Today, you’ll hear a showcase of the first two CDs of this release from 2009.
