About

Mare Nostrum' (Latin for “Our Sea”) was a Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea, an area that may be regarded as the greatest place of exchange and dialogue in the history of human kind. Of course, music is no exception. In this new lavishly illustrated CD book, Jordi Savall invites us to explore the myth of the Mediterranean Sea as mother of people and cultures, from Morocco to Israel, from Spain to Lebanon. The antique Greek illustration on the front cover underlines how far-reaching - in space and time - this project is.

March 2012

Like Hesperion's previous CDs, this one is a lovely tissue of local musics...The soloists are remarkable: Gursoy Dincer brings a gentle Turkish lilt, Lior Elmaleh an answering sound from Jerusalem, and Montserrat Figueras accompanies herself on a variety of instruments in songs from all over...her passing represents a loss to the musical world.
5 out of 5 stars

April 2012

Savall's collaboration with non-Western musicians receives here perhaps its fullest expression. The quality of the performances is gentle and serious. Even the livelier instrumental numbers are imbued with a sense of innate poise...[Figueras's] voice, delicate yet warm, and wonderfully evocative, is heard to most moving effect.
