This was evidently the last work by Isaac Albeniz, and he certainly went out with a bang! Merlin re-imagines its classic characters into a more surreal and moral world than you might be accustomed to... and yet it is more realistic in its portrayal of the simultaneous war and communion between religious mysticism and government and the doubling of these within both groups that further doubles out and down the pecking order until it reaches the lowest levels of society. In essence, it says what we've all known for quite some time; a ruler's subjects mirror him. For the rest, you will have to experience this wonderful gem for yourself. Enjoy!
