Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI: Yo-Yo Ma of the early music world

Jordi Savall is a virtuoso string player, like the Yo-Yo Ma of the early music world. He and his group Hesperion XXI are appearing at Hodgson Concert Hall Tuesday, April 9th with a program of gorgeous music from the 16th and 17th centuries. Some of the pieces are obscure, but at least one tune is familiar, Greensleeves. This is playing that is by turns soulful, impeccable and illuminating.
