Ensembles

In 1974 he formed the ensemble ''Hespèrion XX'' (known since 2000 as Hespèrion XXI), together with his wife soprano Montserrat Figueras, Lorenzo Alpert and Hopkinson Smith. Hespèrion XX favored a style of interpretation characterized simultaneously by great musical vitality and maximum historical accuracy. In 1987 he returned to Barcelona to found La Capella Reial de Catalunya, a vocal ensemble devoted to pre-eighteenth-century music. In 1989 he founded Le Concert des Nations, an orchestra generally emphasizing Baroque period, but sometimes also Classical and even Romantic music such as, for example, ''Sinfonía orGrande Orquesta'' by Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga) (1806–1826). More recently Savall has performed with family members. The family ensemble has included his wife Montserrat Figueras (who died in 2011) and their two children, Arianna and Ferran. Arianna plays the harp and sings, like her mother; Ferran plays the theorbo (bass lute) and sings, not only with his family but also in Barcelona jazz clubs. Savall has incorporated non-western musical traditions in his work; including African vernacular music in ''Les Routes De L’Esclavage'' or ''The'' ''Routes of Slavery (2017).''
