To recall in the space of 75 minutes of music the essential experiences in the life of Charles V and, at the same time, draw closer to a period of such profound significance for our own modern history, are objectives that we can achieve only through a selection of the most significant music that was loved and listened to by the protagonists of the age. In the words of Elias Canetti, “Music is the true living history of humankind, and we put our faith in it because what it says relates to our feelings”.
