Monteverdi believed that music could inflame even frozen hearts. Few are better equipped to test his theory than I Fagiolini, whose performances bristle with immediacy and raw physicality. The first of two Monteverdi concerts, at the newly refurbished Town Hall, Flaming Heart is a passionate journey through the rich variety of Monteverdi’s secular choral pieces, from unaccompanied madrigals to intimate duets and grander works with strings, in a stunning semi-dramatised performance.
BBC Music magazine’s Editor, Oliver Condy, explains why he has recommended tonight’s concert:
“This isn’t your regular choir! I Fagiolini perform with the thrilling combination of wit, imagination and exquisite ensemble work.“
