[frankh0777]

muy bno este hombre.... que voltaje pa volir pepas :)

[ladyfelina93]

Este hombre es un Dios. He llorado cuando le he escuchado hablar acerca de la musica: que todo el mundo, incluso los que no son profesionales, pueden hacerla. He llorado porque es lo que siempre habia pensado en lo mas profundo de mi ser y que nunca habia sabido expresar. Jordi Savall ha puesto palabras a mis sentimientos... Gracias Jordi, nunca dejes de tocar este instrumento maravilloso. Por favor te lo pido.

[captbobalou]

Fantastic!



[SuperYouGerT]

I freaking love Jordi Savall.

[velazquezjop]

Maravilloso, estupenda entrevista

[Signifer82]

Trans. VII:

what does he understand of his parents? He understands the music: the tenderness that comes within the words is given by the way of singing the words. Music is not exclusive of professionals, anyone can do it, and it is the most direct means to be happy. When a person can sing, at least a little, and can share it with some friends, it is the most beautiful way of being happy in that moment.

[Signifer82]

Trans.VI:

these pieces of music that were truly especial and beautiful was a great motivation. Many of my friends and teachers, after 9 years learning the cello, told me I was a little crazy to start again, because it was like starting anew: there were no teachers who would come from old transmission for this instrument. Man cannot live without music. Music is so essencial for man because man is born with music: the baby that is born does not speak Spanish or French or any language,

[Signifer82]

Trans.V:

Therefore, we began to play an instrument for which there was no certainty about how it should be played, we had to research, investigate, think, find out its secrets through an almost archeological research and almost mysterious. And this was an extra motivation for me. I remember the feeling of injustice when I saw these wonderful scores in the libraries of paris or london, and I saw this music that nobody played and were completely forgotten. So, this idea of giving life again to

[Signifer82]

Trans. IV:

because, symbolically, one could see in all the registers of the instrument the voice of a mature man, a young man, a girl, an infant; so we have all the tessituras of the different ages of man. It was these features that condemned the instrument to silence, at the end of the 18th century, when the orchestra grew bigger, with lots of violins and cellos. It has never permitted to be tamed, so to speak, there was never an orchestra with many viola de gamba playing the same voice.

[Signifer82]

Trans.III:

that is to say, the instruments that were played on the arm, from which the violin derived. The secret of an instrument is in the music composed for it. Naturally, all the texts, treatises and sometimes the composers' letters also help, they are complementary. but the esencial thing that allows us to discover how to play an instrument [is in the music]. I am playing now at a very soft level. The viola de gamba was appreciated because of these features, and also

[Signifer82]

Trans. II:

The viola de gamba appears arround the middle of 15th century. The first images that we have of this instrument are from 1430-1440. This instrument has some characteristics of his very own: *** has 5, 6 or 7 strings, depending on the time period; it has 7 frets (as are called the divisions that the guitar or the lute also have); it is to be played while resting between the legs, which makes it different from the family of what was called in the 15th century "viole de braccio"

[Signifer82]

Translation:

Every music of great beauty, every music of genius is above time, it's true: it never dies, but it always has the mark of its time, and that is a very important thing. Every music has in itself the elements that associate it to an epoque or a country. The performer must go deeply enough into each of these epoques for forgeting it afterwards in order to let music speak by itself.

[MrWeluvit]

@Signifer82 Thanks for the translation, it's so kind of you.

[caballosjaibana]

muy agradecido. tengo las maderas para constuir una viola de 7 cuerdas,,,por favor, donde consigo uno planos...gontomar@yahoo.es

[diegooogle]

Se nota que se siente más a gusto hablando en Catalán. Suena como que lucha un poquito al hablar castellano.

[voltamore]

Without doubt, Savall belongs to the 10 greatest musicians of the past 100 years. 

[MsCellobass]

Toco cello y no tendria la menor idea de tocar este! Se posiciona en differente forma, el arco se agarra en differente forma, tiene 7 cuerdas! Total differente!

[csabaimate]

Savall has a very symphaic voice too, not just his gamba

[victorjbellido]

Querido Savall, los idealistas, los que se arriesgan, los que saben formarse, suelen ser los que triunfan, para mi es un verdadero placer el poder sentir la música tal y como tu la interpretas, muchas gracias.

[nisanus]

Das ist geiler wie Motörhead!

[Carajilloful]

He says (I paraphrase and interpret) that man cannot live without music. That a child is inherently musical. That inherent musicality with which we are all born precedes and is needed in order to learn to speak! That playing or singing, even a little, and sharing that with friends or family is essential for happiness and fundamental to our being human.  He discusses his passion for presenting beautiful music that has been forgotten. All in the most musical languages, Eth pano. Gracias Jordi!

[Dworfklux]

Can anyone translate his saying? Thank you

[1001notes]

A écouter, Jordi Savall et Christophe Coin seront en concert le 5 aout au Festival 1001 notes en Limousin, à ne pas manquer...

[pelicano25]

Ojalá que este hombre nunca muera.

[Polluxgeminae]

¡Hermoso!

[nmesis13]

gracias por esta entrevista de canal sur andalucia. A ESTE HOMBRE SE LE DEBERIAN DE DAR MUCHA MAS DIVULGACION Y AGRADECIMIENTOS DADA LA LABOR HECHA CON LA MUSICA ANTIGUA, SOBRE TODO LA ESPAÑOLA YA QUE NO TIENE MUCHOS MAESTROS

[rodrigompu96]

awesome

[raticulin1]

"La música, dada su unión instintiva con el ritmo y la armonía, habla de la mismísima existencia de Dios". Tomás Luis de Victoria.

Ya es hora de escuchar a un maestro "dar clases" en español, quizás por la poca importancia que damos aquí a nuestro legado musical. Jordi Savall debería tener un monumento. Gracias

[espardenyacatalana]

en català que?

[screenoutthelefties]

El hombre no puede vivir sin musica!

[AboRasul]

@screenoutthelefties Very true.

[nanocassiel]

Sr. Savall

Gracias por traer a la luz esta musica tan maravillosa.

[mambembrincantes1]

Caro Maestro,

que alegria, desde Brasil, oir tan bella compreension de la música universal.

Nosotros aqui tenemos instrumientos, que de alguna forma, vienen de la tradiccioón, de, entre otros, la Viola de Gamba.

Muchas Gracias por la belleza

[fistfulofeuros]

I saw him in Berlin and LA..He speaks pretty good German and English :)

[martinezaguado]

He has a good command of German, English, French... and of course Catalan and Spanish

[tattaglia]

Gracias!... hoy he aprendido mucho. Gracias, maestro!

[Sabo1020]

I need it in a german translation! Please...

[duenitas]

all text?

[bcnicholas]

Wonderful

[IgorSavtchenko]

Don Jordi Savall es un maestro de la musica divina. Mucho respeto.

[CarlosMacMartin]

Not only Music,he speaks many languages too!

Catalan,Spanish,German,French,­& English.How many more?

[Grispeace]

Gran video. Muchas gracias por subirlo

[berlinoberg]

Maravilha!

[dolcelempika]

Una gran clase magistral del maestro Saval..Felicitaciones !!!

[ThePandoralulu]

i love this man

[CarlosMacMartin]

It's way too much to translate in one comment but

he did mention the voices of the instruments are

like: A mature man,a young man,a young girl,and

a small child.

[cjblake]

I'd like to know what he's saying as this is the only in depth footage of Savall describing his instrument. My Spanish is quite poor.. Any translators?

[mousoungu]

all music of great beauty, all genial music is timeless. it is the truth, it never dies. nevertheless, it always carries a mark from its time. And this is a very important issue, for every music contains in itself the elements that bring it close to or makes it belong to a country or a (historical) period. so, the performer must deepen himself in that period, to be able to assimilate its elements and then forget them...

there is not enough space. send an email address and i get you the rest : )

[danielmedeiros81]

por favor gustaria de saber si hay alguien que tiene el video del honoris causa de Jordi Savall que antes estava en youtube pero non encuentro mas...agradezco por la informacion

[bLINKnoT333]

Gracias por el video

[ronaldeath1]

muy bueno esto si que es cultura ...gracias por el video ...

[MariadeBsAs]

Gracias por subir este video del genial Jordi Savall, maestro indiscutido...una verdadera belleza. Si tienen más, súbanlo.

[punkodave]

Podes encontrar aca en youtube muchas cosas que Savall toca.El amigo "Oedipus Coloneus" subio muchas cosas,lamentablemente poco vistas.Te convendria buscar obras de Tobias Hume, Marin Marais y Saint Colombe.Hay tambien una pelicula bastante vieja sobre St. Colombe(Tous les matins du monde)con todo el soundtrack por Savall y su orquestra,no la vi pero tengo el CD desde que salio hace unos 20 años y es lo que me ayudo a descobrir este maravilloso mundo del pasado...Decime si te ayudo

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

Maistre Savall !!! :>
