Instrument: Bass Viola da Gamba

Rich sounding viols, lively percussion and spicy theorbo and guitar in eclectic consort music from Jordi Savall and Hesperian XXI in their 50th year. 

Parrainé la Neue Bachgesellschaft de Leipzig, l'incontournable festival dirigé par Vincent Morel a connu deux premières journées intéressantes, dotées d'une belle programmation mais inégales dans la réalisation.

Jordi Savall's returns to 1991 film soundtrack and captivates a full house at St John's Smith Square.

In the clear, warm acoustic of the oval St. Cecilia's Hall, the imaginatively named, local Baroque ensemble, Lord Rochester's Monkey, delighted an afternoon audience with a programme entitled Le Caffé - also the title of the central cantata by Nicolas Bernier (1665-1734).
