"The Voice Of Emotion II (+Bonus-DVD)" in the CD+DVD format by Montserrat Figueras and Jordi Savall is a refined journey into the emotional depth of early and traditional music. Centred on the expressive power of the human voice, this production gathers deeply moving pieces that span from intimate sacred works to secular songs, placing emotional truth and vocal nuance at the forefront. Figueras's distinctive, clear and yet warm soprano stands in the spotlight, while Savall's artistry as instrumentalist, musical director and stylistic guide frames each piece with subtlety and historical understanding. The accompanying bonus DVD extends the experience visually: it offers the opportunity to witness the performers' stage presence, their interaction with ensemble partners and the atmosphere of historically informed performance, transforming a purely auditory experience into an immersive encounter with sound, space and gesture. The overall result is a contemplative, timeless program that invites quiet listening as well as concentrated study of phrasing, articulation and ornamentation.
At the heart of the album lies the idea that music can articulate emotions that words alone cannot fully express. The selection emphasizes melodic clarity, rhetorical expressiveness and text intelligibility, so that each song or piece becomes a small dramatic scene. The CD+DVD set is particularly suitable for listeners who want to explore the world of early music beyond the purely academic approach, discovering it instead as living, breathing art. Subtle acoustic engineering and carefully balanced recording capture both intimacy and resonance, allowing the natural colours of the voices and period instruments to unfold. The DVD deepens this impression through camera work that focuses on the performers' gestures, breathing and facial expressions, thereby making visible how emotional intensity is built in each phrase. Whether used as a relaxed evening listening experience or as a reference for lovers and students of vocal art, this edition offers a rich, multilayered encounter with music that speaks directly to the heart.
Montserrat Figueras (1942-2011) was one of the most influential sopranos in the field of early music and historically informed performance. Renowned for her unmistakable timbre, her expressive diction and her ability to convey spiritual and human intensity, she became a reference for Renaissance and Baroque vocal repertoire as well as for traditional songs from the Mediterranean and beyond. Together with gambist, conductor and musical researcher Jordi Savall, she shaped the global reception of early music over several decades, performing at major festivals and concert halls around the world and receiving numerous prestigious awards and distinctions. Savall, one of the leading viola da gamba players and conductors of our time, is known for his pioneering work in reviving forgotten repertoires and for his cross-cultural projects that bring together music from different traditions in a meaningful dialogue.
The label Alia Vox, founded by Jordi Savall, has established itself internationally as a benchmark for high-quality early music and world music productions. Specialising in meticulously researched programs, historically appropriate instruments and carefully curated booklets, Alia Vox places great emphasis on sonic excellence and cultural context. Their releases often pair CDs with DVDs or extensive documentation, offering not only recordings but also deeper insights into historical backgrounds and performance practice. With "The Voice Of Emotion II (+Bonus-DVD)", Alia Vox once again underlines its commitment to artistic integrity, audiophile standards and editorial depth, presenting an edition that will appeal both to seasoned connoisseurs of early music and to curious newcomers in search of authentic, emotionally gripping performances.
