Orpheus 21Hesperion XXI
Conductor
Jordi SavallAbout
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.
In this new album, 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 («ex Oriente Lux») is actualised in this album with the fruitful encounter of repertoires from Syria, Bangladesh, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Greece, Lebanon, Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey.

Reviews
Derived from a concert in Paris in 2019, and a response to the ravages of war in Syria, the programme finds Savall’s ensemble Hesperion XXI fused with Orpheus 21, an ensemble of refugee and immigrant musicians, and a similarly constituted children’s choir... Geoff BrownThe Times
