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.

Pablo FitzGerald Cerdán, 27th April

Leighton Jones, 4th April

Andrew Larkin, 20th June

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.

Dominic Lowe

Dominic Lowe recently completed a degree in Classics, and one of his great interests is the reception of Greece and Rome in opera. A regular opera-goer since his very early teens, he is particularly keen on the hidden operatic gems of the 19th century. He is largely based in the South of England.
