Orient-Occident, 1220-1770 Music Orient-Occident, 1220-1770 Classical Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  Disappointing
I am a great admirer of Jordi Saval, regarding him perhaps as the finest western classical musician of his generation. I'm accustomed to finding his performances, in solo or ensemble, deeply engaging. However, I found this particular CD disappointing. As always, it has musical polish in spades, and is charming enough in small doses. However, I found it quickly became repetetive and rather dull to my ear. Even on the very early listenings, I found I had tired of it within 20 minutes -- any 20 minutes (first, last, or the middle). I've played it 4 or 5 times now, but with little enthusism after that initial 20 minites of the first hearing.
