Series about and with Catalan gambist and conductor Jordi Savall. In this episode we’ll hear baroque music by François Couperin.
On 18 March 2020 Jordi Savall will play in De Doelen in Rotterdam. Together with his ensembles Hespèrion XXl & La Capella Reial de Catalunya and musicians from Africa and South America he will play the programme ‘The routes of slavery’.
