Jordi Savall: Lachrimae Caravaggio (Hespèrion XXI)

I am 84 and this is a new, wonderful discovery!!

A quick translation of the french introduction of the concert by Jordi Savall : "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. This concert is dedicated to Caravaggio, of course but also to Montserrat Figueras. She has been with us for a lot of years. She continues to be among us, with all her spirit. And as the poet said : she will never die. Because we only die when we are forgotten. That's why all of these musics that talk about tears are not only tears of sadness but are also tears of joy for all the wonderful years she has been with us. Thanks a lot." Applause

My cat Maya wasn't as music trained as some of my previously owned cats. For years she loved listening to Monserrat Figueras. Once, I became brave and sung the Lullaby with Monserrat, and Maya tried to join in. When Monserrat died we were say and listened to her singing more, even commenting you YT that her voice feels like ambrosia, whatever the taste is... Yesterday my cat Maya died of ovarian cancer. We listened to Monserrad several weeks ago. Today, I am listening by myself and remembering both, the admired soprano and a lovely cat, grateful for inspiration and colour in life.

I am 84 and this is a new, wonderful discovery!!. Maravillosa música que será eterna. Gracias maestro Savall. .

World-historical beard right there. Gandalf, David Lewis, and Tirpitz left completely standing.

Eh bien moi c'est a 66 ans que je découvre ce style de Baroque....Amateur d'instruments a cordes, je suis totalement sous le charme ! Merci de partager cette Divine musique !

¿Cómo puede haber cretinos que manifiesten disgusto por este EMBLEMA ARTÍSTICO? el maravilloso señor Savall.

Comme disait le poète, « on ne mourra jamais, parce qu'on meurt seulement quand on nous oublie. » <3 <3 <3

I fell in love with Jordi Savall's music when I was about 12. Seriously, the fact that he exists to preserve this music and these instruments and styles is a serious gift to the world. It got me through middle school.

Cette superbe musique qui mériterait d'être encore plus partagée. Pour le bien de l'humanité.

"There is no such thing as "old" music. There is only good music......and the other kind" - Duke Ellington

Cete musique nous transporte dans un autre monde, c'est merveilleux. Le professionnalisme est ici stupéfiant, presque choquant, puis on entre dans cette nouvelle dimension, transportés. Ces artistes sont d'un niveau incomparable. Je reste comme un gosse en entendant ça...

Sublime. Joy. What is known as music in the modern age has betrayed us. Thank you for keeping this alive and not letting it be forgotten. There is hope.

I love it how Jordi and Ferran seem to have so much love and respect for each other. That's the frosting on the cake fo me.

When I wanted to listen to early music, I usually wind up listening to Jordi Savall. His understanding of this music is rarely matched. However, i had never heard Ferran sing before this video. Within two bars, I was automatically transported to North Africa, where I had worked for 4 years. I could see within my mind's eye the sands of the Sahara, the palm trees quietly swaying in the wind and the call to prayers from the nearby mosques carried though the atmosphere. There is such a spirituality in his voice. You just don't want it finish!

Ferran saval et son père quels grands artistes je suis jordi depuis de. Nombreuses années mais ne connaissais pas son fils. Quel interprète !!! Et puis les musiciens avec leurs instruments qui ont plusieurs centaines d’années. Merci à tous pour. Cette journée de saint sylvestre on ne pouvait pas espérer mieux.BRAVO À TUTTI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏🙏

Que cette musique fait du bien à l'âme, on ne peut qu'être en paix pendant que l'on écoute cette musique.

항상 최고의 연주를 들려주어서 고맙습니다. 당신이 2018년에 한국에 와서 공연했을 때, 당신의 연주를 직접 들을 수 있어서 얼마나 행복했는지 모릅니다. 코로나19가 끝나면 꼭 한 번 다시 방문해서 우리를 행복하게 해주시기를 바랍니다. 건강하세요 마에스트로! Merci de m'avoir toujours donné la meilleure performance. Quand vous êtes venu en Corée en 2018, je ne sais pas à quel point vous étiez heureux d'entendre votre performance. J'espère que vous reviendrez nous rendre heureux à la fin du Corona 19. Soyez en bonne santé, Maestro !
