Jordi Savall Concert in Barcelona

Sobre o Evento

Enjoy this brilliant concert conducted by Jordi Savall at the Gran Teatre del Liceu on Barcelona's famed avenue Las Ramblas.

Jordi Savall takes us on a musical tour of the works of three composers who marked the operatic tastes of the court at Versailles for a hundred years:  Lully, the creator of the tragédie lyrique; Marais, his brilliant successor; and Rameau, the composer who revolutionized the idiom and style of the first genuinely French opera. 

Jordi Savall is one of the most interesting, renowned and award‐winning musical personalities of the world of culture. Player of the viola da gamba, conductor, and researcher of ancient music, he and his ensemble — Le Concert des Nations, which he founded with Montserrat Figueras — offers us a programme entitled Lyric Tragedy in France in the Age of Louis XIV and Louis XV. The programme includes excerpts from Alceste by Jean‐Baptiste Lully, Alcione by Marin Marais, and Les Boréades by Jean‐Philippe Rameau. This performance is the fruit of his in‐depth knowledge of French Baroque music, a major facet of his vast repertoire which has produced such magnificent results as the famous film Tous les Matins du Monde (1991).
