Jordi Savall i Bernadet (Catalan: [???rði s???a? i ??rn??ð?t]; born August 1,1941) is a Spanish viol player, conductor and composer from Catalonia. He has been one of the major figures in the field of Western early music since the 1970s, largely responsible for bringing instruments of the viol family (most notably the viola da gamba) back to life on the stage. His characteristic repertory emphasizes medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music, although he has occasionally ventured into the Classical and even the Romantic periods.
Jordi has made more than 100 recordings and have won several distinctions; In 1988 the French Minister of Culture appointed him Officer of "Ordre les Arts et des Lettres" and in 1990 he was awarded the "Creu the Sant Jordi" by the Generalitat of Catalunya
