Lux Musicae: Gesture and Legacy

Go behind the scenes of Jordi Savall’s spectacular 2026 program with the young artists of the Karajan-Akademie, winners of a prestigious scholarship from the Berliner Philharmoniker, in this film by expert documentarist Benjamin Bleton. Interviews with the maestro and privileged access to rehearsals allow us to witness how a legend like Savall passes on his lifetime of knowledge while preparing masterpieces of French, German, and English Baroque. The program highlights the driving force of dance in Lully’s Alceste Suite, the musical representation of nature in Telemann’s Hamburg Ebb and Flow, and the exhilarating celebratory aura of a grand Baroque spectacle in Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks.
