A tireless researcher into early music, he interprets and performs the repertory both as a gambist and a conductor. This program, featuring his acclaimed ensemble Hespèrion XXI, captures the inventiveness of the early Baroque era, including works by Frescobaldi, Kapsberger, de’ Cavalieri, Falconiero and more. As the critic Allan Kozinn wrote in The New York Times, Savall’s vast concert and recording career can be described as “not simply a matter of revival, but of imaginative reanimation.”

Music played a crucial role in the Protestant Reformation, promoting congregational hymn singing and enhancing the rituals of worship with rousing festive melodies. John Butt and the Dunedin Consort offer a rich taste of works written to celebrate Christ’s birth, embracing sonorous rarities by Rosenmüller, Geist and Theile, the latter graced by a delightful lullaby, and a rousing instrumental Intrada by Samuel Scheidt, Chapel Master to the Margrave of Brandenburg. They close with JS Bach’s majestic cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV61, composed in 1714 for the first Sunday in Advent.
