Wenn Königinnen sterben

Als Queen Elizabeth I anno 1603 das Zeitliche segnete, ging mit ihr die Kunst des „Consort Song“ zugrunde. Um das Feuer der Musen zu entfachen, brauchten die Engländer der Tudor-Zeit nur fünf Gamben und eine Singstimme. Welche Funken Jordi Savall und sein Gamben-Consort aus dieser Musik zu schlagen wissen, kann man nur hier erleben. Die Helmut List Halle verwandelt sich in ein Country House der Tudorzeit, wo Melancholie und Lebensfreude, tieftraurige Songs und muntere Tänze fließend ineinander übergehen.

Viola da Gamba & Conductor

There is no early music fan who does not know the name Jordi Savall. There is no award that the "Ambassador of the European Union for Cultural Dialogue" has not won in the course of his world career. So it is all the more enjoyable that the Catalan, born in 1941, has been one of the Styriarte's closest and most loyal friends for decades.
