War and peace in Baroque Europe: From the Thirty Years War to the Peace of Utrecht
Jordi Savall brings together his three exceptional instrumental and choral ensembles with special guest soloists for a spectacular performance tracing the music of war and peace during one of Europe's most turbulent centuries.
