    Everytime i watch this, my eyes fill with tears.
    Especially when Jordi Savali's face appears when his deceased wife is singing.
    Love will overcome borders, religion and politics.
    Peace to all

    the strength Jordi Savall exhibits here is admirable - that has got to be so v. difficult to sit and listen to Montserrat singing and somehow summon the strength and courage to play - for those not familiar with the exceptional French film Tous Les Matins du Monde for which Jordi Savall played on the soundtrack - the elder reclusive cellist in the film also lost his wife when she was young and he bore that burden throughout his life raising his two daughters alone - the parallels cannot be lost on anyone - even on Jordi himself he must surely now recognize himself in that film though it is not film it is his reality - life can be so v. difficult at such times that it is near unbearable - I am not sure I could have done this - it would have far too painful to bear to hear her voice - this too has parallels in the film since the elder cellist sees these apparitions of his wife visiting him while he is playing alone at night in his isolated cabin such is the depth of his grief for her - her death at such an age was so tragic - I am almost certain Jordi would have taken some solace from the film and the manner in which the elder cellist dealt with his grief for his deceased wife ...

      Oh but grief is a selfish thing.
      The soul lives on death is rebirth and it selfish to be sad.

    I have played it for probably a thousand times. This song has such a nice history! We have a version in Bengali written by famous poet Kazi Najrul Islam. He was a soldier in the first world war, and my guess is that is when he came across this tune. The tune is so unique, it blends to the local culture everywhere it went. When I listen to this clip, I usually forget that we live in a mess both in space and time. Thanks Nick Rasmussen for uploading this and for the information on artists.

    La buena música no tiene fronteras, es verdad, no entiendo la letra, desconozco el género, pero es preciosa.

    If you know early music, the person who asked where was the woman, that is a "counter tenor" singing. A man with a bass voice can use his high register to sing in an alto range. This was very common in renaissance times when women were not allowed to perform. I agree, Jordi looks very sad, probably memories of his wife singing this.
