ESTAMBUL. Dimitrie Cantemir: "El libro de la ciencia de la música" - Concierto de Jordi Savall

[@Patriciateresat]

Es el músico más grande, polifacético y prolífico de este país, España. Lo penoso es que la gran mayoría en este país lo desconoce, ya que gran parte de el pueblo "entiende" como arte lo degenerado y deleznable de las corridas de toros, sufrimiento y tortura animal; Reverencian ignorantes, sádicos y analfabetos como artistas, maestros les llaman, sin embargo a este maravilloso ARTISTA, no es en justicia conocido y valorado, según su especial talante. Maravilloso Señor Savall, toda mi admiración!

[@MrMayue]

Jordi Savall is someone who knows what the world needs. UNITY in PEACE.

[@monicacall7532]

I was blessed to see Jordi and most of these men perform some of this music in concert. What an amazing experience it was! This video brings it all back to me. Jordi is my musical hero and an international treasure. He does with music what diplomats and their words fail to do-remind us of what we have in common and build upon that premise. Music truly IS the international language!

Dimitrie Cantemir (b. October 26, 1673 - d. August 21, 1723) was ruler of Moldavia, Romania, twice (March-April 1693 and 1710-1711) and a great scholar of Romanian humanism. Among the various comes out occupations were: encyclopedist, ethnographer, geographer, philosopher, historian, linguist, musicologist and composer.

[@pedroa.cantero9449]

Estambul durante cerca de cuatro siglos fue un crisol transcultural gracias al cual se fundieron tradiciones diversas dando origen a este singular Libro de la Ciencia de la Música que nos legara el príncipe moldavo Dimitrie Cantemir, cuyo epítome tan bellamente nos ofrece Jordi Savall. Jordi, levantino de nacimiento y vocación, es hombre de ciencia y de sensibilidad abierta que desde hace muchos años labora para darnos a conocer las músicas de ese mar que fue cuna de civilizaciones y tumba de todas ellas. Me siento conmovido por la verdad que arrastra, ese mestizaje del que somos herederos y del que tan malamente hacemos uso, unos contra otros, erigiendo muros de sinrazón sobre un mismo espíritu que podría haber sido ejemplo de universalidad. Jordi Savall resume en pocas líneas la filosofía de este disco. «En la encrucijada de dos continentes, el europeo y el asiático, Estambul para los otomanos, Constantinopla para los bizantinos, es ya en la época de Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723) un verdadero hito de la historia; a pesar del recuerdo y la presencia muy evidente de la antigua Bizancio, se había convertido en el auténtico corazón del mundo religioso y cultural musulmán. Extraordinaria mezcla de pueblos y religiones, no deja de atraer a viajeros y artistas europeos; Cantemir desembarcó en la ciudad en 1693, a la edad de 20 años, primero como rehén y luego como representante diplomático de su padre, que gobernaba Moldavia. Se convirtió en un famoso intérprete de tanbur, una especie de laúd de mástil largo, y fue también un compositor muy apreciado por su obra Kitâbu İlmi'l-mûsikî (El libro de la ciencia de la música), que dedicó a sultán Ahmed III (1703-1730). Tal es el contexto histórico ante el que adquiere forma nuestro proyecto «El libro de la ciencia de la música de Dimitrie Cantemir y las tradiciones musicales sefardíes y armenias». Queremos presentar las músicas instrumentales “cultas” de la corte otomana del siglo XVII procedentes de la obra de Cantemir, en diálogo y alternancia con las músicas “tradicionales” del pueblo, representadas aquí por las tradiciones orales de los músicos armenios y de las comunidades sefardíes acogidas, tras su expulsión del reino de España, en ciudades del Imperio otomano como Estambul o Esmirna».

[@jaumeke]

A couple of questions here: When you say "levantino", you mean it in relation to Madrid ? Because in relation to Marseille or Genoa Jordi Savall is not a "levantino" at all. Culturally and linguistically Jordi has much more to do with an Occitan or a Ligurian, not with someone from Torrelodones or Cuenca - I mentioned those two for example's sake, no hard feelings against Torrelodones . I'd like to raise a second issue here : the kingdom of Spain as a such did not exist when the Jews where expelled from the Iberian peninsula. The kingdom of Aragon and the kingdom of Castile kept separate legislative, coinage, tax and juduciary independence. May God protect us from the French kings.

Emocionante oir la voz de Monserrat Figueras al final de la grabación. Siempre guardaré en mi memoria sus conciertos en el Escorial y su concierto en Córdoba. Su persona era tan cautivadora y bella como su persona.¡que pena que nos haya abandonado tan pronto!.

[@alakhazom]

I am mesmerized by what this people can sing;they seem to have no boundaries; From them this has to be the concert that fires up my imagination like no other; Especially the duduk solo at the end; it's a pity that it took place in my country,and i wasn't there;I wish that i could turn time back! But hey,listening to Mr Savall means a journey to other places and times!

[@georgeberger8974]

oh but is this wonderful. I discovered Jordi Savall, his late wife, his ensembles and their fabulous music, last year, 2015. I cannot stop listening. This concert is one of their best. Thank you from Sweden.

Maravilloso. Hace algunos años descubrí a este gran músico y a su bella y talentosa esposa. La voz de Montserrat es una de las más hermosas que he escuchado. Abrazos desde Chile.

[@Belarmo]

Hola: El tema que se escucha al final del concierto es la canción de cuna catalana "La Mare de Déu", de autor anónimo (una versión instrumentalizada de forma magistral por Jordi Savall, como no podía ser de otro modo). El tema se puede encontrar en los discos "Ninna Nanna" y "Cançons de la Catalunya Mil.lenària" de Montserrat Figueras. Gracias a todos por los comentarios. Un saludo ;)

Rien ne me touche plus que l'hommage rendu ici par Jordi Savall à sa merveilleuse compagne. Ce lien total se manifeste dans une expression musicale qui transcende le temps, les lieux et les genres pour atteindre l'universel et nous tient dans une intensité qui nous laisse la bouche ouverte.

[@simonegiuliani7483]

Mille mercis Belarmo ! Quel bel hommage à cette merveilleuse musique et à Montserrat Figueras.

[@alexriveradominguez197]

Hace poco tiempo escuché la orquesta de Jordi en Puebla, México. Debo decir que en México como Perú con grandes tradiciones musicales, la aportación del maestro Savall con las interpretaciones de mucha música de estos dos países y en mucho desconocida, ha sido un descubrimiento profundo e impactante. Hoy Jordi Savall nos hace refrendar la esperanza que los humanos podemos construir un mundo rico, maravilloso con miles de puertas posibles abiertas al futuro.

[@iwfy2008]

Just realized that Montserrat Figueras has passed away. I am very sorry, may lord give piece to her soul. She will be remembered for her touching voice next to Jordi Savall. I had the pleasure to attend a performance in athens some years ago. Excellent music ! Ottoman music with Byzantine and Persian roots. We can all be proud of such inspiring pieces of culture !

To all Turkish and Greek participants in this forum. First, claiming that this Ottoman music has nothing to do with Byzantine secular and religious music would be like claiming that modern Rock and R&B music have nothing to do with West/NorthWest African roots and nothing with early Blues and Jazz, respectively. Equally, claiming that this Ottoman music is nothing but Byzantine music would be like claiming that modern Rock and R&B music are nothing but early Blues and Jazz or even nothing but ethnic West African folk music. Both assertions are equally wrong. Ottoman music had its roots in Byzantine and Persian music but has evolved into a music of its own, with very diverse influences from Armenian, Arabic, Turkic, Greek, Sephardic, Rumanian and countless other sources contributing to its development.

[@elluciogm]

Jordi Savall puede dirigir la interpretación de instrumentos sumamente extravagantes como estos. Y mientras más videos veo de él, más instrumentos rarísimos encuentro, de muy diversas épocas y lugares. Y no es sólo investigar sobre los instrumentos y entenderlos; es investigar sobre las prácticas originales de su interpretación... en grupo. Dicen (yo jamás podría criticar eso), que Jordi se apega fielmente a estas prácticas. Estoy seguro que ni siquiera las partituras de mucha de esta música son comunes. Mi pregunta, que va para los que, como yo, no son músicos: ¿se imaginan el nivel de erudición que se requiere para todo eso?

This performance was done in Bucharest, Roumania, and not in Istanbul, Turkey. Jordi Savall's talk at the begining is in Roumanian (with a funny catalan accent). And, most of all, Dimitrie Cantemir was Roumanian, despite he spents lots of years in Turkey.

[@cristianpatrascu3760]

+Paris Romanian :D

+Paris at that time there was no "Romania". The Wallachian lands + Moldovo was Turkish provinces when Dimitrrie was alive plus from his surname we can understand that he had Cuman background
