Early music meets jazz: A Baroque jam session with Rolf Lislevand at the Rheingau Music Festival

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.

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.

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.

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.
