Beautiful music composed and performaned by Skorba and wonderful visuals that accompany each of the pieces performed.
This is a compelling story of two childhood friends who become separated by Corsairs who take one into slavery. He returns to an unforeseen fate on the shores of Malta as a Janissary. He comes with the invading forces and meets his childhood friend 20 years later in the final battle.
