Title: Jerusalem Jerusalem is simultaneously a Jewish, Arab and Christian city - a city of pilgrimage, exile and refuge. The project, the result of many years of fastidious research by Savall and Israeli musician Yair Dalal, aims to present many aspects of this city through the musical traditions of all three monotheistic religions. By bringing together the music of these seemingly disparate cultures without blurring their boundaries, Savall and Dalal demonstrate that they are in fact intimately related. This amazing two super-audio CD set is accompanied by a 400 page multi-language book that features discussions about the history, cultural background and other aspects of the musical selections.
