Montserrat Figueras & Jordi Savall are performing legends. Their imagination and virtuosity in the performance of mediaeval and baroque music has inspired audiences around the world for over 25 years. We look forward to welcoming these great artists to the Wyastone Summer Series.
"We are musicians of our time but rooted in an old culture. Twenty-five years ago, Monserrat and I chose to join together with some friends to explore the ignored repertoire of the Spanish and southern baroque. What is most important is not to ‘restore’ music of another time but to say ‘Listen to this marvellous music, isn’t it splendid, doesn’t it have immense spiritual power, isn’t it topical’. We should play this music without any complex, any inhibition, any limitations." Jordi Savall
