Description

Diego Fasolis is increasing day by day his popularity worldwide. His recordings have been awarded from Switzerland to Germany, France, USA and Italy. His Bach is recognized as one of the best available, his latest Handel recording is a best-seller worldwide, his Palestrina showed how much can he do for the early Italian Baroque music. And now Monteverdi. He starts with a fresh and direct live recording of the famous Vespri of 1610. He will follow next year with a new recording of Orfeo. To get the best results from this live recording Fasolis utilized a wonderful instrumental ensemble where you can find the best baroque players, including the cornets and trombones of the famous Concerto Palatino. Besides the excellent soloists, no doubt that the real protagonist of this recording is the excellent chorus of the Swiss Radio, that is simply impeccable, powerful and stylish. As many international
magazines pointed, this is one of the best baroque choruses available and the most effective of the Mediterranean area and style. The "Magnificat" is astonishingly beautiful in this new
reading and it is a wonderful conclusion to this recording, available on two CDs special price and shortly on one full video DVD Dolby Surround too.

"Particularly outstanding is the psalm Nisi Dominus"

musicweb.uk.net (17.06.2004)


"Such a very good recording, in performance and sound (just the right amount of cathedral-like reverberation) ... that it should be snapped up without any hesitation"

"CD of the month"

"Without any doubt on a very high technical level"

DRS II (17.06.2004)


"Eine Besonderheit der Interpretation liegt etwa darin, daß Diego Fasolis die Musik sehr flexibel im Tempo gestaltet und den Musikerinnen und Musikern Platz zur Verzierung und zur Improvisation läßt. So horcht man bei zahllosen Details auf. Außerdem läßt er den Charkteren der einzelnen Stimmen Raum zur Entfaltung."
