It is the ambition of Jordi Savall and his formation Hespèrion XXI to not only perform the music of bygone ages in a totally authentic way, but to experientially convey such correlations, interactions and cultural symbioses that bring us closer to resolving a whole host of contemporary problems. Savall has never thought in terms of geographical, historical or stylistic pigeonholes; as far as he is concerned, the Mediterranean region forms a single organically coherent cultural unit with a diverse linguistic and religious system of relations. In happier times, the Mediterranean did not have borders north and south, east and west: quite the opposite, it was a symbol of the dialogue between different regions. And for this character to survive, the arts must initiate dialogue – not only between regions, but between souls.
