Ramon Llull (1232-1316) was one of the most prominent writers and poets of medieval Catalonia, living at a time marked by the coexistence, not always peacefully, of the three Abrahamic religious cultures of his time. Jordi Savall leads La Capella Reial de Catalunya, Hespèrion XXI, and special guest artists in Ramon Llull: Times of Conquest, Dialogue, and Exhortation; a program focused on The Ars Antiqua 1200-1300.
Recorded live in concert November 28, 2015, in the Saló del Tinell de Barcelona, the presentation was recorded for commercial release on Jordi Savall’s imprint Alia Vox (AVSA9917.)
