| 21-May-2013 Grand Théâtre | Old worlds and new: Jordi Savall with Hespèrion XXI and Tembembe Ensamble Continuo in Bordeaux |

The purpose of the concert was to take music from the ancient world and combine it with music from the new world. The works demonstrated the difference between the European influence and Latin American influences. Early folias, antiguas and criollas were performed by the eight musicians on stage, led by Savall on the viola da gamba.Read full review... | |
