PCM1: the Proms celebrates Monteverdi with I Fagiolini

In their Lammermuir Festival debut, I Fagiolini strike spiritual and musical gold with the Monteverdi Vespers... at least in the first half.

Well defined performances of Monteverdi madrigals are sung with I Fagiolini’s customary ease and involvement. 

I Fagiolini and the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble give a very special performance at Kings Place. 

The Scottish Ensemble is joined by I Fagiolini in a Winter Chorale linking ancient and modern music for Advent and Christmas. 

I Fagiolini's very interesting programme of music by Monteverdi and his contemporaries pulls together a wide range of works, but somehow lacks an ensemble feel. 

There is something haunting in waiting till ten o’clock at night in the cemetery of one of London’s oldest churches. Even when surrounded by other audience members, this is not a place one would normally seek out on a nice summer’s evening.
