Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal, Cor de Cambra Del Palau de La Musica Catalana, Franco Fagioli
When one of the most illustrious sopranists of our time becomes a conductor, he chooses nothing less than Messiah! Franco Fagioli paints a fresco of Handel's masterpiece with a Latin exaltation, drawing this great English Baroque oratorio in the colours of the Mediterranean, together with the famous Barcelona choir and their Caravaggesque chiaroscuro, which gives the work a shimmer of moire. The Orchestre de l'Opera Royal provides the backdrop for the splendours revealed by the soloists, who take us on a journey of joy and sorrow through the life and Passion of Christ: "Behold, I tell you a Mystery..."
each voice-section seems to have its own confidently worn, open-throated colouring, providing some of the most uplifting moments. Fagioli’s conducting produces few outright surprises but he is generally alert to the music’s possibilities.
