About the Performance

Taking the soulful aires and elegant dances of Dowland and Gibbons as a starting point, Jordi Savall and Hespèrion XXI take their audience on a fascinating journey across Europe from Venice to England and Spain in an exploration of the glories of a Golden Age of music written for consort of viols. Works by Brade, del Milà, Cabezon, Guerrero and Samuel Scheidt contribute to a rich and varied programme of early chamber music.
