EIF: Hespèrion XXI; Jordi Savall Viola da Gamba and Director
21 August 2009 at 11:00amTaking the soulful aires and elegant dances of Dowland and Gibbons as a starting point, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI take their audience on a fascinating journey across Europe from Venice to England and Spain in an exploration of the glories of a Golden Age of music written for consort of viols. Works by Brade, del Milà, Cabezon, Guerrero and Samuel Scheidt contribute to a rich and varied programme of early chamber music.
'an enchanting evening of passionate and lucid musical time travel' (The Los Angeles Times)
