Why this recording
Founded in 1989 by Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall, Le Concert des Nations plays here at a festival Savall runs as artistic director: Musique et Histoire, held every year at Fontfroide since 2006. Produced by Karl More Productions and released by DW Classical Music, the film follows the programme in order, from Corelli's Concerto grosso Op. 6 No. 4 to Rameau's Les Indes galantes, which fills almost half an hour at the end. Three Telemann works form the core, including a suite for viola da gamba and strings, Savall's own instrument.
Simon Janvier, live-sound professional and editor of the catalogue
Full live concert of Baroque music on period instruments, given by Jordi Savall and his orchestra Le Concert des Nations at Fontfroide Abbey, near Narbonne (France), during the 2010 edition of the Festival Musique et Histoire. Under the title “Le Concert Spirituel: Baroque music at the time of Louis XV”, the programme pays tribute to the celebrated public-concert series that enlivened Paris from 1725 to 1791. Directing from the viola da gamba, Jordi Savall leads an ensemble of specialists in historically informed performance through works by Arcangelo Corelli (Concerto grosso Op. 6 No. 4), Georg Philipp Telemann (concerto for recorder and viola da gamba, Tafelmusik, suite in D major) and Jean-Philippe Rameau (Les Indes galantes). Filmed in the exceptional setting of the Cistercian abbey, this recording offers rare acoustics and lighting in service of a refined repertoire. A reference live filmed concert for lovers of early music and basso continuo.
