I FAGIOLINI’S
CHRISTMAS DINNER
I Fagiolini bring their characteristic elan and humour
to a beautifully varied meal of Christmas music. As
amuse-bouche, Swiss bell-ringing, a primo piatto of
great Christmas motets by Palestrina, Victoria and
one of Byrd’s most effervescent works. A Spanish
salad presents a Christmas drama in which the Devil
challenges Adam and Christ to a joust and after such
a rich polyphonic diet, an aural sorbet by Hildegard
of Bingen restores the taste buds. Poulenc and
Warlock provide the coffee and mints.
‘For all the humour, the programme worked
beautifully because of the deadly serious
musicianship that is I Fagiolini's gold standard’
