Our Take

Welcome to a world where Handel's Messiah meets a fresh, modern twist with Franco Fagioli and his ensemble at the helm. This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of this iconic masterpiece.

Fagioli's vocals are truly something to behold, with a range that will make any opera singer green with envy. The Cor de Cambra del Palau de la Musica Catalana and Orchestre de L'Opera Royal provide the perfect accompaniment, creating a rich, layered sound that is both powerful and delicate.

Each track on Messiah is a masterpiece in its own right, but when combined together, they create a symphony of sound that is truly awe-inspiring. From the hauntingly beautiful "And the Glory of the Lord" to the triumphant "Hallelujah Chorus," this album is a testament to the enduring power of Handel's music.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for any classical music lover. Fagioli and his ensemble have breathed new life into a centuries-old masterpiece, proving that even the most traditional of music can still surprise and delight. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Messiah wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
