The subject of Jordi Savall's latest historical exploration is the life of the 16th-century missionary Francisco Javier, better known outside the Spanish-speaking world as St Francis Xavier. He was one of the founders of the Jesuits, and travelled widely through the east, eventually reaching Japan and the islands of China, where he died. Savall's compilation uses the historical staging posts of Javier's life and times, from his birth in Navarre to the start of his missionary travels as the scaffolding for a typically imaginative and exotic sequence of musics, which begins in the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabella and ends with the traditions of Japan and China. Like its predecessors, which were centred upon Christopher Columbus and Don Quixote, the musical performances by Savall's ensemble Hesperion XXI and his usual lineup of soloists, complemented here by Japanese performers, is packaged lavishly within the covers of a glossily illustrated 264-page book with texts in five languages. The multilingual presentation doesn't make it easy to find one's way around, but the discs themselves are vividly performed, and their variety is beguiling.

Import only collection of their massive selling 'Greatest Hits' collection originally released back in 1991. This 18 track collection adds four bonus tracks that are unavailable on the U.S. pressing, 'You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart', 'Sex Crime (1984)', 'Right By Your Side' & 'It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)'. This collection as expected includes all their 80's hits, 'Sweet Dreams', 'Who's That Girl? ', 'Here Comes The Rain Again', 'Angel', 'Would I Lie To You?', 'Missionary Man', 'I Need A Man' and many, many more. Most attractive about this piece is only a few cents separates the cost between the domestic & the import. Standard jewel case.
