As identified by the hype sticker on this latest set.

Almost shocking to hear piano forte here!!!!

Continued brilliance on more levels from the visionary Jordi Savall, his
dedication to beauty as presented by this label remains true and honest.

He and Alia Vox are a godsend in this fractured world.

 Didn't find it though. Savall is generally not the type of performer I gravitate towards, but I was very surprised at just how huge Savall's catalog of recordings is (I guess I'd forgotten), and I know there are some audiophiles who swear by them.

 Hmmm... I searched for "Mirrors of Time" in Apple Music and it came up in the album results. Here's a direct link: https://music.apple.com/us/album/mirrors-of-time/1737431842

A reason for Savall's huge discography is that most of it is on his own label, Alia Vox. He records a lot of music that hasn't been released elsewhere.

 I'd just done a search on Jordi Savall, and I got a large number of hits, but not this latest album. This is not untypical of Apple Music - sometimes, I'll be looking for a particular album, and when I search on the conductor's name, there are no hits. And yet when I search for the same album using the name of the orchestra, the album I was looking for appears! I wonder if the fact that you searched on the name of the album and were successful in finding it has anything to do with the fact that Apple Music is very oriented towards the pop world, where searching on the name of the album is probably far more common than in the classical world. (Of course, searching on the name of the "artist" is, I'm sure, very common in the pop world too!)
