The Follia (Hespèrion XXI)
From the wooden depths of a Gamba
wielded by the talented Jordi Savall
a musical festival in conjured forth
and it manifests itself as the “Follia”
a bold exercise and a statement
of the most capable musical artists
played in a many different variations
with elegant grace and with passion.
The music is an escapade of longing
a crescendo of passions uncontrolled
of two naked bodies meeting together
with a deep hungry appetite for sex
as the music describes lunges forward
heated thrusting and biting of shoulders
the back is scratched, moans let loose
tension peaks and pleasure is set free.
A.G. Munson
