Pièces De Viole, Tome I (1978)

"These performances by Jordi Savall do surprise one. To his palette of bright and exotic colours he has added delicate pastels and melancholy purply hues. The much performed A minor Allemande of the First Suite, usually rendered with much ferocity and intensity, here conveys a feeling of poignancy and even nostalgia. The music is marked 'noblement avec sentiment'; Savall has chosen to wear his nobility lightly and in doing so creditably makes us think differently about the piece. Likewise, "La Portugaise" of the same suite is more understated and melancholy than one is used to. Even more unexpected and delectable are the delicate interpretations of "La Mandoline" and "La Dubreuil" of the Second Suite." (Gramophone, 1989)
