    Overview

    For all the difficulties of travel four centuries ago, fresh ideas flowed freelybetween major European centres of trade and commerce.

    Jordi Savall andHespèrion XXI have probably done more than any other ensemble to showthe correspondences and cross-fertilisation that occurred when musiciansabsorbed new fashions from abroad and exported their knowledge to otherlands.

    Their programme shows how simple dance forms were transformedinto works of irresistible elegance for the ears of Renaissance Europe’spowerbrokers and leaders.
