War & Peace 1614 - 1714

This deluxe set, which includes two SACDs and a lavish book, gathers the who's-who of European music of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries. The composers of this period were deeply affected by the Thirty Year's War as well as the War of Spanish Succession. The finest music inspired by this turmoil is vividly performed by Jordi Savall and his ensembles. The set ends with a fantastic performance of Handel's Jubilate Deo. Other featured composers include Lully, Charpentier, Biber, Cabanilles, Jenkins and Blow.
