I am saddened to learn of the death of Montserrat Figueras, the great Catalonian early music singer. With her husband, gambist and conductor Jordi Savall, she was a central part of the great early music revival of the past few decades. (A VC reader adds this recollection of Figueras’ appearances in the Bay Area; thanks.) Here, one of Figueras’ most widely admired (or, anyway, one of my favorite) recordings, Yo soy la locura.
Yo soy la locura
la que sola infundo
placer y dulzura
y contento al mundo.
