The specialist musicians that gather in this Swiss alpine setting every summer can be counted upon to give solid performances. The fourth Baroque concert in this year’s series was no exception.

Words definitely took second place to music in Franco Fagioli’s recital of Baroque operatic arias performed by the great Italian castrato Caffarelli.

In Montreal Richard Turp discovers a modern-day Pied Piper of Hamelin, Maurice Steger in music of 18th century Naples accompanied by Les Violons du Roy 

It was one of those extraordinary solo performance that left no-one in the audience indifferent. An unmissable event for all Baroque lovers in Paris: the Argentinian countertenor Franco Fagioli in town for a recital at the Salle Gaveau. The concert was part of a tour in support of his new CD Arias for Caffarelli.

Instrumentalensemble und Gesangsduo verzücken mit stupender Stilistik, Einfühlungsvermögen und Affekt. Selten war der vermisste Barock schöner als jetzt – o fons amoris!
