5.0 out of 5 stars
a Hispanophile and Judeophile, August 24, 2005
This review is from: The Sephardic Experience, Volume 1: Thorns Of Fire (Audio CD)
This is a great album. Good songs, beautiful harmonies. The musicians have done some thorough research and their attention to detail shows in the liner notes. The liner notes provides a social, historical and political background to the origins of the songs. The Renaissance Players make a potentially "foreign" sound accessible. The addition of the Macedonian instrumental pieces provides an interesting and lively counterpoint to the sometimes slow and reflective Sephardic pieces. Good if you're Jewish and speak Spanish and equally good if you're not.
