Jordi Savall was on In Tune the other day, talking about it with Sean Rafferty.

I do like his signature silk scarves, but it would be fatal to try to copy his look given my lifestyle, they would be forever catching on brambles.

His Alia Vox label has an awesome back catalogue.

I was at the concert. It was very fine, and I am looking forward to hearing it again on R3. Recommended.
