Hesperion Xxi / Savall Istanbul - Dimitrie Cantemir Super-Audio CD

Jordi Savall's new release is mainly based on "The Book of Science of Music," published in 1710 by the Moldavian prince Dimitrie Cantemir, after many years spent in Istanbul. This unique manuscript enables US to discover rare jewels of Turkish traditional music. This city portrait of Istanbul would not have been complete without selections from the fascinating Armenian and Sephardic repertoire that was so familiar in Istanbul during this time.
