Hespèrion XX, Jordi Savall - Llibre Vermell De Montserrat Un Pèlerinage Du XIVe Siècle
Review by arvind singh
Hespèrion XX, led by Jordi Savall, has delivered a stunning performance on their album Llibre Vermell De Montserrat Un Pèlerinage Du XIVe Siècle. The album features a collection of medieval songs, chants, and dances from the Llibre Vermell (Red Book) of Montserrat, a 14th-century manuscript that was used by pilgrims during their journey to the monastery of Montserrat in Catalonia.
The ensemble's interpretation of the music is exquisite, with each instrument and voice blending seamlessly together to create a rich and vibrant sound. Savall's leadership is evident in the precision and cohesion of the ensemble's performance, which is both engaging and emotive.
The album's highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Stella Splendens," the lively "Polorum Regina," and the meditative "Cuncti Simus Concanentes." The vocal performances are particularly noteworthy, with the ensemble's singers delivering powerful and emotive renditions of the songs.
