[@romainbepoint2698]

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*

[@richardleary3900]

Thank you Indeed. But his French was so clear and careful that it really needed little translation for me and I'd guess, many

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.

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

[@agroserragrande5982]

I agree. I love these kind of old music.

[@eunicelynch6368]

Like Duke Ellington said there is only good music .......and the other kind ....how true

[@MARIANPALADE]

For sure - OLD MUSIC - are quite true and have real semnification, becouse all humanity valuable concepts (even today) in beauty arts and music, too; was made only in last centuries of all humman spiritual flourishing; ....a prouf of that, is right here in Savall's performance. Modern and contemporary so called creation are so ugly, monstrous, decadent and poisonous; ...a death of beauty, a death of humman spirit in itself, too

[@nocomment2468]

YESSSS. It's funny to see how some of our most revered composers (and artists...) were undervalued in their time, usually for seeming "too old-fashioned" or "too weird". Of course, years later, fashion from the bygone eras stops mattering, and the quality of old music reveals itself. I'd love to see what will be valued from this scattered age of music, assuming the planet survives.

[@paulmacgilvray8059]

@@nocomment2468 I think we come across absolute perfection in so many musical performances and in so many genres, that one lifetime isn't enough to experience more than a tiny fraction! I'm so grateful to Jordi Savall and this great band for the sheer joy they give to us lucky enough to experience their beautiful work!

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.

The singing is sublime. What beautiful music. Tears and joy for our troubled world. Thankyou

[@bettyanngerman31]

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!

[@philippehuysmans3159]

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...

[@miguelmuelle]

Thank you for posting this gorgeous concert! Jordi Savall is an international treasure. He and the artists with whom he surrounds himself are all extraordinarily gifted, and committed not just to "historically informed performance", but historically IMMERSED performance. Many pieces in this concert were written by Jordi Savall, and if they weren't labeled, one would hardly know that they did not originate in the distant past. His "Deploratio" pieces, sung by their son Ferran Savall, are truly a "bewailing", lamentations for his late collaborator, partner, and wife Montserrat Figueras, to whom this concert is dedicated.

[@Lorangie]

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

[@ruscharles]

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.

[@sarahpiaggio2693]

I love how this kind of music, although it has tremendously skilled practitioners, isn't about "stars". There's a humility about it, a recognition that it's all about the whole performance. You could say that about any orchestral piece, but I think it's particularly true about this style and period of music.

[@nepalhaiti]

And, looking back into what we started in the '60s, I am proud to have been part of the 'waking up' of Baroque and Renaissance music and bringing it back to life. We were ridiculed by other musicians, at times laughed at for wanting to bring this music on period instruments, leave alone understanding the style, interpretations, sounds, ornamentation. It was a new world with almost weekly discoveries of new/ancient music. An honor it was indeed. And what is heard now is the ultimate product of our tenacious efforts, of several small groups around Europe who believed this was right.

Jordi Savall has performed a great service to the entire world in reviving interest in the viola da gamba and the music of the time in which it flourished, the 16th through 17th Centuries. He has championed the instrument, and its wonderfully sonorous sound, in a variety of musical styles, throughout his long career. A wonderful musician!

Way to go!!! It's quite depressing and restrainer times we live, but to take far too seriously life at the end?

Savall weaves an exquisite and ethereal web of sound in "Deploratio II" The voice spins outs threads of pure feeling with the strings of the viola da gamba echoing them in sympathetic vibration. The effect seems effortlessly natural; wholly uncontrived.

it's been a week since I discovered this video, but I can't help myself but listen to it multiple times a day. I'm so utterly entranced by the atmosphere these stellar musicians create in these 1,5 hours. I find myself experiencing emotions I didn't know I could feel, it taps into something so deep and ancient... the respect that these artists have for the works is also extremely tangible, and is audible in every note they play. It's incredible how music lives on and is revived throughout history, and these men have certainly done so with every piece they lay their hands on.

A beautiful tribute to a loved one. For me personally Maestro Savall will do no wrong - such is his talent, love of music and desire to play it. The lineup of musicians to play with him here is just amazing - real masters of their craft and instrument. But the outstanding heartwrenching vocal performance here is by Ferran Savall - son of Jordi Savall and Monserrat Figueros, dedicatee of the concert. Listening to his wordless lament leaves me choked every time I listen to it. That is why I can't listen that concert often. Still it is as fantatstic as anything Maestro Savall does - authentic, thoughtful, musically superb and emotionally charged. Bravi.
