En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Rolf Lislevand

Le Retour de Marin Marais et de Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe : douceur et chaleur de la viole de gambe dans un écrin musical exquis, brodé de violon, théorbe, clavecin et guitare baroque.

Acompañado de Rolf Lislevand -tiorba y guitarra-, Michael Behringer -clave y órgano- y Philippe Pierlot -viola da gamba baja de 7 cuerdas-, Jordi Savall ha rendido homenaje a una película que, en 1991, sirvió para mucho como pasarela de acceso a las figuras y la música de Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, Marin Marais o el propio Savall.

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

The Rolf Lislevand Ensemble in a dynamic and invigorating performance of 16th and 17th century music at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival.

Founded in 2005, Concerto Stella Matutina hail from the musically rich Vorarlberg region of Austria (home of the Schubertiade). For this evening’s concert, they were represented by two violins, a viola, cello and double bass apiece, a concert organ and percussion, plus their magnificent Baroque brass section – three players with a variety of horns, trumpets, trombones and cornetts.

Most musicians with an arresting stage presence tend to command attention with an awe-inspiring magnetism. There are, however, a handful who possess a rare ability to mesmerize an audience just as much with a calm and phlegmatic demeanour.

Jordi Savall is well known to early music lovers, championing the revival of the viola da gamba with a wealth of previously unknown material and appearing regularly in the UK both as player and leader of his three ensembles.
