Jordi Savall was born in Barcelona in 1941. Like many other musicians, he began his musical training at the age of six as a member of the boys’ choir in his hometown of Igualada. He first studied the violoncello at the Barcelona Conservatory, before researching early music and taking up the viola da gamba. Within a very short time, he became one of the most important researchers and interpreters of music written before 1800. His creative power, has taken him \u2013 for many years together with his late wife, Montserrat Figueras \u2013 to concert halls, churches and cathedrals all over the globe.<\/p>\n
