Mare Nostrum

Catalogue # AVSA9888

Mare Nostrum (Latin for “Our Sea”) was a Roman name for theMediterranean Sea, an area that may be regarded as the greatest place of exchange and dialogue in the history of human kind. Of course,music is no exception.

In this new lavishly illustrated CDbook, Jordi Savall invites us to explore themyth of the Mediterranean Sea asmother of people and cultures, fromMarocco to Israel, from Spain to Lebanon.e antique Greek illustration on the front cover underlines how far-reaching - in space and time - this project is.
