Following the release of his splendid recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Jordi Savall marks the tercentenary of the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), which put an end to twelve years of war between France and half of Europe, with a programme bringing together four masterpieces that are not only highly representative of European sacred music but performed in Latin, for soloists, choir and orchestra. Four compositions celebrating divine grandeur, royal might and the power of peace.
