Jordi Savall, with grey hair and a green patterned shirt, holds a wooden stringed instrument in his hand. He is standing on a dimly lit stage. Sheet music and a music stand can be seen in the foreground.

Info

No Baroque Weekend would be complete without Jordi Savall. The Catalan gambist and conductor – to whom the Berlin Philharmonic is dedicating a season-long tribute – is one of the most distinguished authorities on early music. With his ensemble Hespèrion XXI, he leads us into the mythical Garden of the Hesperides, where immortal maidens guard the golden apple tree – a symbol of love and fertility. Music by Diego Ortiz, Gaspar Sanz, Pedro Guerrero, Francisco Correa de Arauxo and others creates a richly atmospheric soundscape.
