For the time being, this will be the last episode in our series about the Catalan gambist and conductor Jordi Savall. On 1 August 2021 he turned 80, and to mark the occasion the Viennese label fra bernardo has issued a double CD of live recordings made in recent years during the "Resonanzen" festival in Vienna. In this hour, we will listen to fragments from that double CD, which has the title: 'a la vida - Jordi Savall'.
