Upper: Hèsperion XXI tuning; lower Jordi Savall playing a bass viol, Coolidge Auditorium, Library of Congress, 2 April 2024.

Last evening we had the immense privilege and pleasure of hearing one of my musical heroes and his primary group play in the magnificent acoustics of the Coolidge. Their program of early baroque music had the audience enraptured and wishing for more!

Folia: Rodrigo Martinez, c. 1490, by the ever amazing Jordi Savall & his band Hèsperion XXI Favorite Youtube comment: "Jordi Savall coming from outer space, with golden fingers." Indeed. ;) Just incredible musicianship, all around.
