Award-winning vocal group I Fagiolini celebrate their 30th anniversary with this new album which offers a rich concoction of 20th Century choral delicacies and marks a departure from their previous recordings of Italian Renaissance music. Arranged as a tasting menu, this new Decca Classics recording includes two world premieres bursting with Gallic flavor: Jean Françaix's Ode à la Gastronomie; and an arrangement for voices and piano of the slow movement of Ravel's G major Piano Concerto, set to a text by Verlaine and featuring pianist Anna Markland. These along with Cantique Des Cantiques by Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur form the main dishes within the program.

    Posted At: August 21, 2017

    With eight singers and varying combinations of strings, wind, brass and organ as instrumental accompaniment sourced from the combined forces of I Fagiolini and the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble, the Feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist was re-constructed with the psalm settings punctuated by antiphons, sung in super-smooth flowing plain chant.
