‘Judith triumphant over the barbarians of Holofernes’ is the only survivor of the four oratorios that Vivaldi is known to have composed. The work was commissioned to celebrate the victory of the Republic of Venice over the Turks during the siege of Corfu. All characters, male and female, are interpreted by women (originally the singers of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice). Although the rest of the oratorio survives completely intact, the overture has been lost and Jordi Savall has selected two existing concertos as introduction, of which the key, mode and no doubt date of composition coincide most closely with the subject of the oratorio.

Jordi Savall, Le Concert Des Nations - Gluck: Don Juan - Semiramis (2022) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at June 9, 2022

As early as 1761, a year before Orfeo ed Euridice, Gluck largely renewed another musical genre, the ballet, with his adaptation of Molière's Don Juan for Viennese audiences. Sémiramis followed a year later. The two works were based for the first time on a coherent narrative in which all the resources of the orchestra were put at the service of expression. Jordi Savall and Le Concert des Nations bring out all the nuances of these scores, recalling that a quarter of a century before Mozart, the stages of Europe were treated to the full evocative power of music by another outstanding personality: C. W. Gluck.

The discovery in St. Petersburg of a full libretto from the second performance in 1744 of Bach’s missing 1632 Passion set the sleuths to work. And here’s the result: Following this revised edition, a full-length creation emerges, the work of Jordi Savall based on research by German harpsichordist/musicologist Alexander Grychtolik. The music, all by Bach, has been borrowed from a host of different places, including the two surviving Passions and some cantatas. Savall’s lively musical instincts and his flair not just for reconstruction, but also for imbuing it with vigorous life make this mandatory listening, especially given the quality of the performance.

My interest and fascination for the work of Joseph Haydn date back to 1960-64, when I was completing my music and cello studies at the Barcelona Conservatoire and had the opportunity to discover and study some of the composer’s most beautiful quartets. During that time, two special pocket scores always accompanied in my apprenticeship of musical forms and the fascinating discovery of great masterpieces of musical creation: one was J. S. Bach’s The Art of Fugue and the other Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. Two wonderful works that I later recorded under the ASTRÉE label a few years after having founded and prepared the appropriate music ensembles: L’Art de la Fugue, recorded in March, 1986, with 4 solo wind instruments and 4 violas da gamba from the ensemble HESPÈRION XX, following a year of concerts throughout Europe to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Bach’s birth. It was followed four years later, in December, 1990, by the recording of Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross, two years after the creation of the orchestra LE CONCERT DES NATIONS.

Jordi Savall wanted to keep the same title for this much more comprehensive double album, in tribute to the late Montserrat Figueras, his wife and collaborator of 43 years. 35 year-career: 35 tracks a dazzlingly clear soprano voice, a line of the purest silk, as strong as it was delicate.

Cette nouvelle réédition du célèbre enregistrement réalisé en 1985 à Radio France nous propose de somptueuses retrouvailles avec un bouquet d'interprètes devenus de véritables « stars » du baroque avec le temps. Jordi Savall devait accéder au sommet du hit-parade et de la reconnaissance internationale six ans plus tard avec la bande originale qu'il signa pour Tous les matins du monde, le film d'Alain Corneau sur un argument de Pascal Quignard qui racontait l'histoire du violiste et compositeur Marin Marais et de son maître Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, respectivement interprétés par Gérard Depardieu et Jean-Pierre Marielle.

Jordi Savall - Bailar Cantando (2018) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Aug. 25, 2018

Hier scheint fast immer die Sonne: im Norden von Peru, nur einen Steinwurf entfernt von der Brandung des Pazifik, liegt die Stadt Trujillo. Auf den Trümmern des Inka-Reichs, zwischen Tempelruinen und Königsgräbern, errichteten die spanischen Eroberer ihre Villen, ihre Paläste und die leuchtend gelbe Kathedrale. Die beiden Glockentürme läuteten für Europäer und Indios, für Mestizen und Afrikaner, und wachten über ein riesiges Bistum - von der Küste über die schroffen Berge bis zum Regenwald des Amazonas.

Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as the new, centralized power of the absolute state was established in most European nations, royal courts all over Europe became the very heart of cultural and artistic life in their respective countries. They assembled an elite of aristocratic courtiers who were expected to master the principles of poetry, dance and vocal and instrumental music, as much as they were supposed to follow a strict and complex etiquette in all aspects of daily social interaction, adopt a luxurious and ever-changing fashion code, or sustain a refined conversation with a lady.
