Handel arias

Description

The virtuosic countertenor from Argentina, Franco Fagioli, dedicates his new album to the lyrical works of Georg Friedrich Handel. In the arias presented here, Fagioli unfolds the wide spectrum of affects and colors characteristic of Handelian opera. "Handel is a must for a countertenor," explains the Argentine singer. Among these musical memories are virtuosic pieces like 'Ombra mai fu' from Serse, 'Venti, turbini' from Rinaldo, or 'Dopo notte' from Ariodante, with golden reflections, but also smaller format arias like "Ch'io parta?" from Partenope, supernatural, transfigured. The entirety of these arias performed with Il Pomo d'Oro demonstrates the technical and vocal range of the lyrical singer, making him one of the most extraordinary talents of his generation.
