The Sixteen

Harry Christophers, Dirección

The Sixteen y Harry Christophers glorian a Handel en el Auditorio

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 14th April

La fama de Handel, vinculada habitualmente con el Mesías, su hito más sobresaliente, no debe conducir a un olvido del resto de oratorios que nutren su catálogo, en el que, según pudimos atestiguar anoche, Israel en Egipto también merece un lugar privilegiado.

The Sixteen: la exquisitez de la polifonía

Pablo FitzGerald Cerdán, 27th April

The Sixteen y Harry Christophers emocionan con un programa dedicado a la música de la Capilla Sixtina en los siglos XVI y XVII

*****

Bach and Gluck resound in Bath Abbey with The Sixteen

Roy Westbrook, 21st February

Large ecclesiastical buildings, with their hard surfaces and long high naves, are challenging for complex music like Bach’s.

Andrew Larkin, 20th June

The Sixteen offer glorious tones, smooth polyphonic lines and vivid word paintings at the National Concert Hall.

Uneven Mozart and Haydn from The Sixteen at Cadogan Hall

Mark Valencia, 16th February

The Sixteen’s work is spoilt by a shortage of violins and some uneven solo contributions. Such imperfections only serve to highlight the excellence of the very best.
