La Capella Reial de Catalunya

Early Music Ensemble

La Capella Reial de Catalunya

Created in Barcelona in 1987 by its conductor, Jordi Savall.

La Capella Reial de Catalunya is composed of a group of soloist singers and a top-level instrumental group (international and outstanding figures in their line), whose number varies according to the requirements of each case (8 to 60 members) and whose aim is to make the repertoire of the Catalan historical music and, by extension, that of the Hispanic and universal music, widely known all over the world.

Did you know that most Alia Vox albums were recorded between 1 and 4 am? Not only because of tight recording schedules, but also because the night creates an very special quality of silence... This double album is the best possible tribute to Alia Vox' short but intense history. Not just an 'anniversary CD': it is a fascinating musical journey, based not only on existing material, but also on unreleased recordings (Charpentier - CD2 track 5) and on future albums (CD2 track 1 was recorded for the upcoming project Jerusalem). Recordings from the Astrée catalogue are also included in this definitive overview of a major component of Jordi Savall's creative process: the night.

“Jordi Savall's discs can always be relied on to widen listeners' musical horizons in the most enjoyable way possible” Daily Telegraph

Following the success of Christopher Columbus, this beautiful CD-book, in the same format as Don Quijote, with more than 300-pages including translations in Japanese and Chinese, enables us to discover hidden treasures from Asia through the life of Francis Xavier, a Spanish pioneering Roman Catholic Christian missionary who co-founded the 'Society of Jesus', the Jesuit Order.

“Highlights here include performances by El Maloumi (oud), Zuckermand (sarod) and Seki (shakuhachi), while the singing of Yokio Tanaka (accompanying himself on biwa), though not an easy taste to acquire, undoubtedly displays great skills. Savall's regular colleagues - Hespèrion, La Capella Reial and the divine Figueras - are as superb on this recording as ever.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *****

“This interesting package traces Francis Xavier's life, from his birth in Navarre to his death off the coast of China. The music is beautifully performed and recorded. The first track, marking Xavier's birth, is an 'alba' played on the shawm. Vocal and instrumental pieces follow...” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008

La Capella Reial de Catalunya & Hespèrion XXI, Jordi Savall

Exactly 400 years since the publication of Don Quixote, Jordi Savall has conceived a project: to gather together all the airs, songs and ballads written or quoted by Cervantes, as well as those to which the author alludes throughout the novel. The result is a rich and colourful programme of music, punctuated by a reading of some of the finest passages from Don Quixote, presented in a luxurious book format.
