Jordi SavallAbout
Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious Reformation. But while he was critical of the abuses within the Church and called for reform, he kept his distance from Luther and Melancthon and continued to recognise the authority of the Pope. His middle-of-the-road approach disappointed and even angered scholars in both camps. Jordi Savall regards him as a model of wisdom and tolerance.
SACD 1 features highlights of the Praise of the Folly (recited in French) mixed with 22 “Folias”, including 5 new recordings and 17 pieces from“La Folia” and “Altre Folie”.
SACD 2 and 3 feature new recordings of music from the times of Erasmus, mixed with texts by Erasmus and Luther (recited in French).
SACD 4, 5 and 6 contains the music of CD 1, 2 and 3 without the spoken texts.
Each set contains a unique code to download the spoken texts in Flemish, English, German, Castillan, Catalan and German on the internet.
