I Fagiolini:

The Other Vespers

Celebrating Monteverdi's 450th anniversary and I Fagiolini's 30th anniversary, The Other Vespers focuses on sacred works from the end of the composer's life, including the celebrated "Beatus vir," pairing them with the music of his contemporaries, such as Palestrina, Gabrieli and Frescobaldi. Director and Monteverdi specialist Robert Hollingworth treats the album as an authentic vespers setting - with antiphons, collects and other short excerpts between each work.

Amuse-Bouche - French Choral Delicacies

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.
