Jordi Savall (Igualada, 1941) is a unique event in the world of classical music. It takes more than forty years of research in a wide repertoire from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century.

- never stop learning because every concert is a new experience back to basics. On stage you are alone and naked to the instrument. So long as you have physical form, follow playing the viola and do those 160 concerts a year.

- Do you think the disc has democratized the world of music?
"The key to the success of the album is to be recorded at the peak of feeling and emotion as possible. Once we played all night and best moment was at three in the morning, because that came out of soul music and was full of emotion and beauty. Is like a genie in flamenco.
