For example, in the final styriarte "War and Peace", for which the gambist, conductor and explorer blended beautiful pearls among well-known pearls of a century of the Holy Roman Empire

along from the chronology of the birth of Emperor Maximilian In 1558, the Catalans brought a colorful range of Renaissance music that commented and documented the fate of countries, leaders, peoples, soldiers and lovers. He understood Savall, who in an already unbelievable week 77, once again masterfully, wide emotional worlds aufzuspannen: Here is an intelligent tribute to the king of Aragon, Ferdinand II, whose marriage policy met that of the Habsburgs .
