Notes & Reviews:

Jordi Savall's The Road to Orient, released in 2006, presented a musical portrait of Francisco Javier and his remarkable trip from Spain to Japan. During his own travels for research and preparation for this new set, Savall met a group of talented Japanese musicians who soon became friends and with whom he performed in many concerts around the world. Created following the catastrophes in Japan, Savall's Hispania & Japan: Dialogues is a specially priced album that features the most signifi cant pieces from the musical dialogue between Spain and Japan. Alia Vox's deluxe packaging includes the usual comprehensive, richly illustrated and highly informative hardcover book plus a special bonus - a miniature fold-out Japanese screen replica depicting the arrival of the first Europeans in Japan. Alia Vox is donating all profits from the sale of this set to the Japanese Red Cross.

Gramophone Magazine, November 2011
The mixture of western monophony and polyphony with some profoundly beautiful improvisations on them by Japanese musicians is illuminating and unexpectedly rewarding...the real connection throughout is the extraordinary beauty and mutual understanding on the part of the musicians, from both East and West, in this sumptuous, beautifully recorded disc.
