  • Jordi Savall Talks About Grief, Memory and Building Bridges
    To marry the heart and the head By Julius Purcell . May 12, 2012 1:23 am The prolific Catalan musician Jordi Savall talks about grief, memory and building bridges ©Laia Abrill Jordi Savall at home in Barcelona It was a sound that few who heard it are likely to forget. In January, the church of Santa María del Mar in Barcelona was packed for the memorial concert of the singer Montserrat Figueras, who died last year aged 69. At the front, seated at the viola da gamba, Figueras’s husband Jordi Savall waited motionless as Armenian duduks launched into an opening lament. Then, from a balcony lit by three candles, came the voice of Figueras herself – “smoky, penetrating, flatly expressive”, as the music writer Alex Ross has described it. What we were hearing was one of her recordings of the Chant of the Sybil, a medieval Catalan text that she particularly loved. It was a charged moment, tinged with the realisation that recordings might endure, but the chance to hear this voice in performance had gone for ever. When I meet Jordi Savall a few months later, he is in the middle of producing a new disc that will tell the story, in music, of the humanist thinker Erasmus. The recording session in a chapel had finished at six that morning, Savall having returned only two days ago from an exhausting tour of Mexico and China with Hespèrion XXI, the ensemble he co-founded with Figueras in 1974. Six months after his wife’s death, and having turned 70 last year, Savall won’t, or can’t, slow down.

Please fill out this form to be placed on the wait list More information Early Music Seattle Credits Presented by Early Music Seattle Gamba virtuoso Jordi Savall and musicians from Hespèrion XXI are joined by Galician bagpiper Carlos Núñez to celebrate the lively music of Celtic culture. Jordi Savall celebrates the Celtic musical traditions by playing with the great galician bagpiper Carlos Núñez, who will be accompanied by musicians Pancho Álvarez and Xurxo Núñez, and with Savall’s usual accomplices: the famous harpist Andrew Lawrence-King with the Irish harp or the psaltery, and Frank McGuire, one of today best players of bodhran. Together they trace the route of Celtic migration, from Ireland to Iberia, through music. JORDI SAVALL For more than 50 years, Jordi Savall, one of the most versatile musical personalities of his generation, has rescued musical gems from the obscurity of neglect and oblivion and given them back for all to enjoy. A tireless researcher into early music, he interprets and performs the repertory both as a gambist and a conductor. His activities as a concert performer, teacher, researcher and creator of new musical and cultural projects have made him a leading figure in the reappraisal of historical music. Together with Montserrat Figueras, he founded the ensembles Hespèrion XXI (1974), La Capella Reial de Catalunya (1987) and Le Concert des Nations (1989), with whom he explores and creates a world of emotion and beauty shared with millions of early music enthusiasts around Embassy of Spain – Cultural Office | 2801 16th Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
