Plus qu’un grand musicien c’est une personne extraordinaire. Ses interprétations des morceaux qu'il a choisi de jouer sont si touchantes qu'on a l'impression que c'est exactement ce que l'on veut entendre. Il nous emporte dans un monde féerique. Un grand maître. Quel bonheur de l’entendre et de le voir jouer.

When Maestro Savall plays alone only then it became painfully obvious - his exemplary mastery of an instrument and deepest affection for the music. Passion and poetry, emotion and musicality - all came alive at once in his performance. He is a singularly talented musician and just as an extraordinary person. His renditions of every piece he choose to play are so affecting that somehow one feels that it is exactly what one wants to hear. Though each piece is of a virtuoso grade, yet each one feels so organic and natural, refined and elegantly an emotional quicksilver. Pure magic... Thank you, Maestro.

For those who don't know Spanish, at about 17:00, he dedicates the "Variaciones sobre una cancion de Cuna bretona" to the memory of his late wife, Montserrat Figueras, who died in 2011. They had been married since 1968, and she can be seen in many of their earlier works.

I simultaneously fell in love with the sound of viola da gamba and the artistry of Jordi Savall after seeing the film“Tous les Matins du Monde” (All the Mornings in the World”). It was a life changing experience. I’m a professional cellist who has been inspired by Mr. Savall to learn how to play the gamba.. He makes it looks so easy, but while comparing cellos to gambas is not quite like apples to oranges, there are enough differences to keep someone “crossing over” on their toes-especially with the bow. I’ve been privileged to meet Mr. Savall, and he is the most humble, genial person you could ever meet.

I too had the same experience when I saw "Tous les Matins du Monde" !! I was just knocked out by the viola da gamba (plus I love a good period piece film), and I discovered Jordi Savall at that time. Kudos to you for learning to play the gamba! I'm not a musician, just a music lover. So nice that there a number of YTube vids of Jordi Savall et. when playing beautiful early music. Lovely to know that Savall is such a nice person.

Le cœur déborde ne laissant place aux mots. L'extase est là et raconte tout l'émerveillement devant la belle résurrection de la Reine des archers Sa Majesté La Viole de gambe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Have loved the viola de gamba since I saw the wonderful film "Tous Les Matins du Monde" many years ago. Jordi produced the music and of course played the gamba on this most magical of films. The music most associated with the Gamba, especially by the composers Marin Marais and Monsieur de Saint Colombe is so ethereal and speaks to something so deep within us that it seems to encompass the world of human emotions like no other music.

Gracias Jordi Savall por su inmenso trabajo como recuperador y amplificador de la música antigua.

I had the pleasure of seeing/hearing him in Berkeley years ago. it was unforgettable. My daughter had music week and a cellist came into play today and I wanted her to hear the viola da gamba. The sound is so soulful in comparison.

Encare que l'anglés sigui la llengua universal avui, (vegeu els comentaris) els que parlem catalá hem de protegir-la ,i vosté Sr. Savall, es un dels nostres portaveus.

One Word FANTASTIC!

I'm just stunned every time I come back to this video. It never changes.

I was always fascinated by how people choose their occupations. Some pick chiesel and hammer, some keyboard of the computer, some plough the earth, some choose pen or pencil. People attached to their chosen instruments all day, week, month and years. People use their instruments to create physical reality around us. But those who pick the musical instrument are of the higher order. They don't create any physical objects. They create us. They make us better people. How do you make others stop and listen? How do you read the score and learn technique? But most of all: How do you convey an emotion?

Extraordianrio, Jordi Savall es un genio y hombre humilde..Sublime!

I’ve been a casual fan of baroque music listener since the 90’s. This year for Lent I gave up all music. I came out the other end with no appetite for modern music and have been delving deeper into baroque. Jordi Savall comes up everywhere. God bless you Jordi Savall for performing music that elevates, and for preserving our heritage and birthright.

Spectacular, again.

Peter Adams invoque "une impression d'improvisation" comme une critique. A mon sens et bien que ces oeuvres soient écrites, ce qui les caractérisent c'est le côté libre exploitant l'instrument dans toutes ses possibilités en donnant effectivement comme une sensation d'improvisation excluant toute raideur. C'est là que l'on fait la différence entre un bon instrumentiste et un interprète hors pair comme Jordi Savall.
