For more than fifty years, Jordi Savall 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 and recipient of many awards and honors. 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 the world. He is
European Union Ambassador for intercultural dialogue, and received a
Grammy for Small Ensemble Performance, among many others.
On Musica Nova, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI have collected the best
pieces for viol consort composed between 1500 and 1700. London, Venice,
Rome, Versailles, Madrid: all the great European courts were fascinated
by the new 'musica nova' style, which dreamed of a harmony beyond time
and frontiers. With this recording, Jordi Savall sets a new standard by
delivering the comprehensive vision of a repertoire for which he is
already famous.
