Jordi Savall: Choosing Independence, Once Again

At 85, Jordi Savall shows little inclination to slow down. After transforming the way we listen to early music, creating his own ensembles and his own label, the Catalan viol player and conductor is now embarking on a new adventure: the creation of AEVUM, a digital platform designed to return to musicians some of the value that streaming has taken away from them. A new fight for independence—and an opportunity to look back with him on sixty years of music.
