Title: Bridging the Gulf
Product review: Thanks to WFMT radio in Chicago, I was introduced to Hesperion XXI's re-cording of Orient-Occident 1200-1700. The music is very listenable, thepackaging, which includes the art work and notes is both intelligentand interesting. The concept and purpose of this album is Iberian musicfrom a time when three dominant cultures coexisted in something close to a golden age. To recreate a bygone time is folly, to remind ourselvesthrough music of the possibilities of peace in our time, is commend-able. The selections are lively, beautiful plus sometimes exotic. The musicians perform expertly on period instruments. This album adds balance to my personal music collection; I'm certain it will do the same for yours. I heartily recommend Orient-Occident 1200-1700.Most cordiallyDennis
