It is illusory to assume one can shoot a film about Jordi Savall which summarizes the complete fullness of his activities or gives a representative summary of the musical treasures raised by him with a profound expertise or to describe exactly how he manages to play the viola da gamba in his own unmistakable way that makes it sound like it sounds.
