5.0 out of 5 stars Not The Greatest Hits..............but still, May 9, 2002

By	G. Sanders "mediaevalman" (LONDON) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The enthusiast who wrote the first review missed one thing and got another just plain wrong.

This album comprises bleeding chunks torn from JD's Astree recordings: it's a hits compilation and nothing more. It cannot be one of his greatest albums - by definition.

And in any event he's doing his best work now: buy anything on his very own Audio Vox label and hear for yourselves.

Also available at the time of writing: a 4-cd set of his Virgin recordings called Espagna Antigua. Expect to pay pennies and enjoy it for the rest of your life.

Jordi savall? The real thing, no......(er)......mistake, guv.

5.0 out of 5 stars People who live in glass houses..., November 17, 2002

By	james (Dallas) - See all my reviews

Reviewer Graham Sanders from London United Kingdom got one thing just plain wrong: Jordi Savall's own label is ALIA Vox!

Re this set: anything by Jordi Savall is as good as it (music) gets.
