 Born in Basel, Switzerland in 1972, into the heart of a family of Catalan musicians, Arianna Savall, after an initial stage of general and musical education, began to study classical harp at the age of ten, and after returning to Barcelona, continued under the direction of Magdalena Barrera. She concurrently began to study voice at the Conservatory of Terrassa with María Dolores Aldea in 1993. She was awarded her professional qualification in harp from the Conservatory of Terrassa in 1996, and that of voice in 2000. In 1992, she began studies in historical performance with Rolf Lislevand at the Conservatory of Toulouse (France), and took several courses under the tutorship of Andrew Lawrence-King and Hopkinson Smith, as well as that of her parents, Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall. |

Montserrat Figueras (soprano), Arianna Savall (voice & triple harp) Hesperion XXI In the third instalment in Fabio Bonizzoni's survey of the
secular cantatas with instrumental accompaniment,
composed by Handel during his stay in Italy, come a
quartet of works associated with the Venice-born maecenas
Pietro Ottoboni, including the substantial Ero e Leandro, the libretto for which is plausibly considered to
have been written by the Cardinal Ottoboni himself.As well as the seldom-performed cantata for bass, Spande
ancora a mio dispetto and Ah! Crudel, nel pianto mio scored for soprano solo, Bonizzoni also directs the Spanishtexted
No se emendará jamás. “There have been anthologies of lullabies before, but surely few that have ranged as widely as this one...Montserrat Figueras spins beautiful lines from exotic material.” The Gramophone | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Montserrat Figueras,Arianna Savall, Ferran Savall & Jordi Savall Hesperion XXI, Le Concert des Nations & La Capella Reial de Catalunya, Andrew Lawrence-King 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 |

| |  | Helena Tulve - Lijnen
Arianna Savall (voice) & Emmanuelle Ophèle-Gaubert, Mihkel Peaske (flutes) Silesian String Quartet, NYYD Ensemble & Stockholm Saxophone Quartet, Olari Elts The first ECM disc from the only composition pupil to date of Erkki-Sven Tüür, gifted young Estonian Helena Tulve, whose work speaks in its own unique language through a variety of chamber music settings and with a fluid approach to form, sound and sonority. It includes four premiere recordings amongst her six played by the celebrated NYYD Ensemble under outstanding conductor Olari Elts, the Stockholm Saxophone Quartet and the Silesian String Quartet. “It's not music that goes out of its way to be ingratiating, but as this highly impressive collection shows, behind this take-it-or-leave-it facade lurks music of real personality and expressive depth, whether in Lijnen, the 2003 cycle of settings of poems by Roland Jooris, or the rebarbative saxophone quartet Öö.” The Guardian, 27th June 2008 **** |
