From Seville to Isfahan
The 15th and 16th Century have been described as the «Golden Age» of Spanish music, but they were also without a doubt the golden age of Persian and central Asian music.
The great masters of the Spanish Renaissance created their own signature of polyphony. Into what was essentially Franco-Flemish music of the time they wove influences left by the monodic tradition such Cantigas de Santa Maria and also by the Moors and the Muslim cultures so present in medieval Spain. During this time, the courts of Shah Ismail and Sultan Suleyman in the East, welcomed and trained some the most remarkable musicians, composers and theoreticians to grace the pages of the musical history of these regions.
This musical journey from Sevilla to Isfahan brings into dialogue the music of the Spanish Renaissance with Persian/Ottoman masterpieces taken from manuscripts unearthed in monasteries and palace libraries such as Topkapi.
Embark on a musical journey with the two renown musical ensembles Constantinople & Accademia del Piacere through Iberia, Persia, and Central Asia, revisiting music notable for its sumptuous color and exceptionally rich beauty.

Com perfeito o homem pode ser se escolher o belo!! Sublime poder ouvir creio que sua música irradia Luz. Aqui do 🇧🇷 agradeço esse momento único.

[@RevenantScholar]

Sublime, as always from "Constantinople." Deepest respect to everyone involved from a historian who specializes in precisely that period.

Listening to this music is so freeing, specially these days.

[@alsv7636]

Constantinople, mi mejor descubrimiento del año 2022. Grandes de la buena música 👋✨ Gracias!

[@KR_Barker]

I was today years old when I found this and I wish that it hadn't taken so long because this music (and the performance) is wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing it with the world.

[@joselhernandez9202]

How can you describe something so exciting, that you practically can't stop watching-listening? do yourself a favor and enjoy this marvel, and wish as a musical gift to those you love who will enjoy it! Thanks to Constantinople & Accademia del Piacere for their beautiful music. And save me the cows ( guárdame las vacas) in minute 48 to go to the concert!

[@alexandresantos2860]

Incredible, intense, fascinating many sound textures, unique!👏

So beautiful, so refined, so moving. "Be glad, Be glad, for the Song has no ending"

[@MrTorleon]

There is a book in my library, bought many, many decades ago, written by the extraordinary Idries Shah, an expert in Oriental Philosophy and religion. The title of the book " Caravan of Dreams " is completely encapsulated by this equally extraordinary music, which brings to us the hot desert air, sitting around a campfire in the cooler evenings, the soft bleating of goats in the background, and listening to tales from the Sufi, or some Dervish Proverbs for gentle amusement - ' He would break his teeth on a lettuce leaf " !!!!!!!!!! It was my lifelong delight and privilege to spend some time in Isfahan pursuing some post-grad studies - this music has brought back to me many deeply cherished memories. Wonderful performance and evocative in every way - my heartfelt thanks in all ways possible :)

[@ernestositamul9033]

Extraordinario. Que placentero escuchar esta música.

[@marymccluer1630]

Beautiful music from an important era in history. I must give a shout out to the camera crew and lightning designers--the stage is beautifully lit and filmed.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Just wonderful! To hear this in northern Sweden is a result of borders between people slowly breaks down.

[@wallacebrender]

São 7h30(am) e o sol se expõe aos olhos do Brasil no horizonte com este belo concerto que chega aos nossos ouvidos. Obrigado, Constantinople pelo trabalho! Estamos encantados

[@fjordhellas4077]

Thank you for indulging us in this musical and universal beauty. Los Árabes as my Spanish grandma always told me, they transformed the Iberian Peninsula and left us Wonders. Just look at the unparalleled beauty of the Alhambra In Granada, the Alcázar in Seville, or the extraordinary Mezquita de Córdoba. And who can forget their intrinsic influence on Spanish music ? Gracias!;

I’d never seen a viola da gamba with a violoncello like sounding board. First I asked me about the frets on a cello…

[@edward2175]

Glad to hear a recent work. I thought you had finished 2 years ago. Rich beyond words.

01:07:11 Anyone know what poem is being sung?

[@080f]

Claro, muy importante el sonido de la voz, creia si no fuese así, que quizá seria un poco aburrido si fuese una hora y veintidos minutos. Hay que tener en cuenta que si no se es profesional o muy aficiinado, muchos indtrumentos son de sonidos quizá muy antiguos y nuevos hoy en dia para muchos oídos y a mi en particular me suenan tal y como desafinados, otros de sonidos mas graves, suenan mas familiares y tienen su afinamiento mas cercano en el tiempo. La voz hace descansar o relajar todo ello. Se supone que como en otros casos es mejor anunciarlo en el caso de las aplicaciones musicales con su tiempo de reproduccion, con sus maximos que no suelen ser demas de unos 15 m.? y por dupuesto como en este caso de principio a fin. En particular me ha gustado el de con voz y creo el tercer tema y que llevan a un total de.... 27:16 m. y que concide shora mismo con lo que escribo y termino o doy a pausa en el reproductor de la aplicación, para atender a otras musicas o músicos. Muy bien, me han gustsdo y suele gustarme.

Muhteşem, ancak bütün bu benzer ya da değişik çalgıların bir arada, dakikalar daha doğrusu konser boyunca ayni güçlü tınıyla uzun uzun ve kesintisiz çalınması, dinleyiciyi yorucu bir uğultunun içine çekiyor, sıyrılmasına da pek fırsat vermiyor.. Tarihin ve coğrafyanın uğultusudur diyorsanız, itirazım yoktur!
