Over the last 15 years, Jordi Savall has been exploring the links between Western and Eastern repertoires because he regards this work as a way to develop a better mutual understanding. On Oriente Lux, Hespèrion XXI plays alongside the ensemble Orpheus 21, created by him in the wake of the recent migrant crisis to welcome musicians from countries stricken by war, hunger or disasters to draw attention to the dignity shared of all humankind. The idea – prevailing during the Middle Ages – of a light coming from the East, Oriente Lux, is actualized on this recording with the fruitful encounter of repertoires from Syria, Bangladesh, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Greece, Lebanon, Irak, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey.
“The result is an exquisite auditory tapestry that transcends geographical boundaries, summoning forth a veritable feast of sounds, melodies, and harmonies that encapsulate the rich heritage of these vibrant cultures.”
“Entusiasta, acertado, exótico, emocionante, conmovedor.”
“What a great, musical, generous and humanitarian project! Jordi Savall continues his exploration of Eastern music and that of the Mediterranean together with the instrumental and vocal ensemble he founded, Orpheus 21, which brings together musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds.”
