Dance and song with Catalan pride

When Jordi Savall goes on stage, bygone times come alive, mystical places appear before your inner eye. For example, in this case, the monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat north of Barcelona, very close to Jordi Savall’s Catalonian birthplace. With his ensemble Hespèrion XXI, this early music legend brings to the stage late medieval songs and dances from a famous collection of the monastery.
