Hespèrion XXI & La Capella Reial de Catalunya, Jordi Savall

Following the success of Christopher Columbus, this beautiful CD-book, in the same format as Don Quijote, with more than 300-pages including translations in Japanese and Chinese, enables us to discover hidden treasures from Asia through the life of Francis Xavier, a Spanish pioneering Roman Catholic Christian missionary who co-founded the 'Society of Jesus', the Jesuit Order.

“Highlights here include performances by El Maloumi (oud), Zuckermand (sarod) and Seki (shakuhachi), while the singing of Yokio Tanaka (accompanying himself on biwa), though not an easy taste to acquire, undoubtedly displays great skills. Savall's regular colleagues - Hespèrion, La Capella Reial and the divine Figueras - are as superb on this recording as ever.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *****

“This interesting package traces Francis Xavier's life, from his birth in Navarre to his death off the coast of China. The music is beautifully performed and recorded. The first track, marking Xavier's birth, is an 'alba' played on the shawm. Vocal and instrumental pieces follow...” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008
