Orient - Occident Review
This had been 'suggested' to me for so long I was sick of seeing it. Also, how good could a collection covering 1300-1800 really be? Secumbing to curiosity at last, I found musical treasure! The Occidental pieces come from the early part of that time frame while the Oriental pieces come from the entire range, thus there really is a peculiar unity to the album which delights and surprises every time I listen to it. The Orient here is mostly the Jewish and Muslim world and after listening to Hesperion XX/XXI for so long, this seems very familiar turf. It works and it works well. Guest artists help make this a musical trip to remember.
