On hols on Croatian coast. Offered (post-beer) to give family a recital of top 15th century Burgundian song. Not receptive but De tous biens plaine is surely a banger. Incl. Roderick Williams from early I Fag album open.spotify.com/track/514K1ztC…

I approve this message.

The Come and Sing that James Weeks (EXAUDI ) led last year was one of the best I've ever been to, so I'm delighted to see he's running another one – come and join me on Saturday 12 October and spend a day singing gorgeous music by Purcell. musicdurham.co.uk/events/come-an…

Annoyingly good.

New I Fagiolini project: Colossal Baroque 2. Benevoli 4-choir Missa Benevola. Little introduction: youtu.be/3g3xq4mgebA?si…

So very sorry to hear about this.

On 15 Oct, audience favourite, Ciara Hendrick, paints a portrait of an extraordinary talent and a divisive personality – Jane Barbier was in the first generation of English singers to sing Italian operas in London. Tickets from £15, available now 🎵 london-handel-festival.com/show/2024-autu…

Lest you had missed it, season 9 has just started, wherever you get your podcasts or choralchihuahua.com Eamonn banging on about his favourite subject. Sigh.

We did!

📀Trailer drop for Robert Hollingworth 2nd CD - Missa Maria Prodigio Celeste - part of their current Orazio Benevoli recording project, with University of York alumni! You can listen to a preview from their 1st CD on BBC Radio 3. Take a listen on BBC Sounds: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… 🎶

This is an absolutely epic disc. It’s been a genuine delight discovering the lush textures of Benevoli’s music — check out my two close ups in this video for some absolutely wild dissonance treatment!

The extracts of this Benevoli mass sound stunning- full of lush counter reformation instrumentation! I'm just waiting for the CD in the post now (because I'm a geriatric millennial who doesn't wholly trust streaming services...)

NEW Fagiolini film for new album: 2 mins of multi-choir Roman over-the-topness with (at 1'05) a MULE - a super-slow cantus firmus in the top voices while lower voices go wild. Buy it here (pls): incl.Carissimi Jephte orcd.co/ifagbenevola The City Musick youtu.be/RALP-x0vsjc
