>>La diaspora Sefardi by Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI, 22:00
Contemporary approach to early music is a trademark of all Jordi Savall and Montserrat Figueras music ensambles.
Fascinated by the immense wealth of the Hispanic and European musical repertoire dating back to 1800 and before Jordi Savall, Montserrat Figueras, Lorenzo Alpert and Hopkinson Smith founded the ensemble Hespèrion XX in 1974. The spirit characterised by Hespèrion up to the present day has been the eclectic way in which they have made their artistic choices. This has allowed the Group to interpret a number of important Spanish medieval pieces as well as English renaissance, baroque and consort music pieces by Dowland, Tye, Coprario, etc. The Group also brings us other European repertories including a great deal of unknown pieces, which by being played have contributed to the popularity of their composers J. Jenkins, J. Rosenmuller, S. Scheidt etc. For over thirty years, Hespèrion XX – now Hesperion XXI due to the new century – has remained true to that initial vision, and participates in the main early-music festivals around the globe

    I listened well to the music but I found that the most influential is the arabic taqsim..by the iud, qanoun and nay…so dont pretend that this is a jewish izaelian music…
