About the Event

Jordi Savall is one of the visionary and ground‐breaking musician personalities of our times with passion, investigative zeal and a brilliant instinct for sound, he has enlivened the field of ancient music with unique projects. Born in 1941, the Catalan and »EU Ambassador for Cultural Dialogue« returns to the Dresden Music Festival to perform Beethoven’s »Missa solemnis«. Together with his two ensembles, Le Concert des Nations and La Capella Nacional de Catalunya, and first‐rate soloists, Savall invites the audience to cast a fresh and authentic eye on this famous work by the great composer of the First Viennese School. Performing on historical instruments, the musicians make Beethoven’s moving sound world shimmer in all its nuances.

Artists

Conductor: Savall, Jordi

Jordi Savall, born in 1941 in Barcelona, embodies the spirit of the rich Catalan culture in which he was raised. Inspired by another great Catalan artist, Pablo Casals, whom he heard perform at Prades, the young Jordi Savall realized that music could be more than just a profession – for him, it would become an all‐consuming life’s work. He completed his cello studies at the Barcelona Conservatory in 1965, and, seeking to broaden his musical horizons, took an interest in early music.

After determining that his new‐found interest could not be well served by the modern cello, he discovered the viola da gamba and the performance practices of an earlier period. Jordi Savall went on to study in Brussels and later attended the Schola Cantorum of Basel, where he studied with August Wenzinger. In 1974, he succeeded Wenzinger in the position of Professor of Viol and Ensemble at the Schola Cantorum. Jordi Savall is widely credited with the rebirth of the viola da gamba and his ongoing musicological research has made him a major force in the revival of early music.
