We have it on good authority that this is International Cat Day. These skilled minstrels are hard at work performing, instrumentaliter, a medieval mewtet. The fiddle plays the catus firmus.

Les œuvres de nombreuses compositrices sont maintenant répertoriées en ligne.R.I.P. René Zosso« Le dernier grand troubadour des temps modernes nous a laissé, sa pipe légendaire restera froide, sa voix et sa vielle à roue muettes, mais le souvenir de son humanité et de son art exceptionnels nous accompagneront pour toujours ».
Depuis notre première aventure ensemble en 1979, avec Le Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, jusqu’à l’Èloge de la Folie de 2012, nous avons profité souvent de ton art, de ton éloquence déclamatoire et de ton amitié toujours chaleureuse.
Merci cher René, pour ces 40 ans de vie, d’expériences, de passion et d’amitié.
Que la Paix t’accompagne toujours dans ton dernier long voyage.
Jordi Savall
