Editorial Reviews

Known for his velvety voice and emotional intensity, countertenor Franco Fagioli performs a handpicked selection of Handel opera arias for his new album on Deutsche Grammophon. The album features 14 arias displaying a wide range of emotions and affetti musicali typical of Baroque operas - and of Handel's vocal music in particular. Franco is joined by Baroque orchestra Il Pomo d'Oro, led by Zefira Valova.

An unbelievable Voice!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I just love the Baroque period, and Handel is one of my favorites. This type of intricate music requires a very powerful voice to do it justice, and Franco Fagioli handles it beautifully (no pun intended). He has an unbelievable range, and he sings with such power and precision. I think that he's the best counter tenor I've ever heard!

Uomo Universale

Fagioli commands great techniques that obviates that unpleasant side effect of falsetto ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2018

I listen to counter tenors much less nowadays and Fagioli is an exception to my playlist. The main reason is the universal 'problem' of metallic timber, particularly in the upper range. However, again, Fagioli commands great techniques that obviate that unpleasant side effect of falsetto singing. I attribute his uniqueness to techniques because his first recording (Handel et Mozart) at age 22, did also suffer from the same problems as other singers of his voice type. As a results, most of his high notes don't cause me to cringe as most counter tenors (and their entire range actually). Perhaps this is harsh - the counter tenor voice to me sounds like the declining Callas voice in her late career, in timbre and color - interesting but not much of instrumental beauty.

Now, this album contains a top Handelian repertoire for counter tenors / mezzos, as one would expect. It'll be a great addition to your collection if you do not yet have such, or you simply do not own any of Fagioli's albums. Here, Fagioli demonstrates his tour de force techniques and the unusually even timbre, on the most parts - with a few arias, e.g., 'Venti, turbini', his brandishing high notes clearly exceed his capacity, which I find unnecessary. Although with his range, I do understand, it is expected of him to hit those highs in today's fashion. On the other hand, say, 'Dopo, notte' has the showcase high flourishes but does not expose the singers limits. This is a fiendishly hard number and it is a challenge to find few on par with Fagioli's excellence.

Please do not hesitate to get this album.

Stimmgewaltiges Klangfeuerwerk ohne Gleichen

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on January 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Wann hätte ein Sänger mit seinem Vortrag jemals so begeistert, so mitgerissen und atemlos zurückgelassen? Löst er das Versprechen ein, das Cecilia Bartoli uns in so vielen Jahren mit gleicher, tief empfundener Emphase gegeben hat? Franco Fagioli legt mit seinem Händel Album einen weiteren unbestechlichen Beweis seiner unvergleichlichen Kunst vor und es ist ein Album, das in der kalten Jahreszeit für Hitzewallungen sorgt, bei mir jedenfalls.

Fagioli gibt uns abermals die Gelegenheit einen Gemütszustand wieder zu entdecken, der uns allen in einer oft so transparenten und berechenbaren Welt viel zu sehr abhanden gekommen ist: das Staunen. Aus dem Staunen kam ich bereits beim Anhören seines singulären Caffarelli Albums nicht mehr heraus, (welches für mich noch immer sein Bestes ist) und auch bei seinen Händel Arien gibt es Anlass genug zu staunen. So organisch, so rund und verführerisch timbriert klingt seine Stimme in allen Lagen und die hohen und höchsten voll ausgesungenen Töne, die er vollkommen mühelos erreicht, wie zum Beispiel in der hochvirtuosen Bravourarie "Ventil, turbini", dürften manche Sopranistin vor Neid erblassen lassen. Seine Koloraturen perlen in einer solchen Anmut und Natürlichkeit, dass man sich leicht vorstellen kann, wie die Damen mit dem Handrücken an der Stirn glückselig in eine Ohnmacht gesunken sind, hätte er zu der damaligen Zeit auf der Bühne gestanden. Dies lässt sich wohl besonders bei seinem in Perfektion vorgetragenen Crescendo und Decrescendo nachvollziehen. Sein überaus kunstvoller und geschmackvoller Vortrag wird nur noch von seiner Emotionalität und seiner Eindringlichkeit übertroffen und das macht ihn für mich so einzigartig, unverwechselbar und bewundernswert.

Das Ensemble "Il Pomo d'Oro" begleitet den Ausnahmekünstler auf Originalinstrumenten und trägt so eindrucksvoll zu dem akustischen Hochgenuss bei, die diese CD bei jedem neuen Anhören bietet. Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung!

Fagioli au service de Haendel

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on January 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Point de passage obligé,le récital Haendel est un révélateur des qualités ou des défauts d'un chanteur ou d'une chanteuse;rares ceux qui parviennent à rendre justice à ces pages admirables,et à éviter la monotonie.Aux côtés d'une Ann Hallenberg ou d'une Vivica Genaux,il y eu tant de disques inutiles...
La concurrence entre contre-ténors est vive(Cencic,Jaroussky...)et nous ne nous en plaindrons pas si elle continue à nous procurer de telles réussites:le récital de Franco Fagioli est exemplaire,et ce à plusieurs titres.De 1711 à 1740,il offre un panorama des airs italiens du "caro sassone"de "Rinaldo"à "Imeneo",alternant airs élégiaques et airs de virtuosité avec un égal bonheur,et les extraits célébrissimes-dont "ombra mai fu" et "cara sposa"-sont interprétés avec le même soin que les titres moins popularisés.Aucun moment faible,aucun temps mort.Et un magnifique "agitato di fiere tempesta".
Beauté du timbre,sens de la respiration sont exceptionnels et au service d'une caractérisation indispensable ici:Fagioli se met au service des rôles qu'il chante,et ainsi ce récital échappe à la monotonie trop souvent de mise.Et l'ensemble "il pomo d'oro"déjà remarquable dans le récital Hallenberg sous la direction de Riccardo Minasi est ici emmené par la violoniste Zefira Valova et contribue à la grande réussite de cette réalisation.
Déjà habitué à chanter Haendel sur scène,le contre-ténor argentin fait ici davantage que confirmer sa stature et ce récital bien construit et brillamment interprété sera souvent réécouté...

Una interpretación de 24 quilates

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

El contratenor argentino Franco Fagioli nos ofrece en este disco una colección de doce arias handelianas que fueron compuestas en su día para cuatro de los grandes castrati barrocos (Nicolini, Senesino, Caffarelli y Carestini) pertenecientes a nueve óperas del gran compositor alemán.
La interpretación de Fagioli es excepcional, llevando a cabo un recorrido por los diferentes “affetti” con gran maestría y aparente facilidad, incluso en las arias más difíciles de ejecutar. Fagioli resplandece de manera absoluta en cada una de las arias del álbum, y, a pesar de que la mayoría de ellas han sido ya grabadas por varios intérpretes, el contratenor las hace suyas con una expresividad rara vez (por no decir nunca) alcanzada en este tipo de recitales. Fagioli se introduce en la piel de cada uno de los personajes (Oreste, Serse, Rinaldo, Tirinto, Mirtilo, Bertarido, Cesare, Ariodante y Arsace) y transmite sus emociones con una intensidad hasta ahora prácticamente desconocida. Su versión de Cara sposa de Rinaldo es exquisita; la bravura de Venti, turbini de la misma ópera no tiene nada que envidiar a otras interpretaciones legendarias como la de Marilyn Horne; el ímpetu de Crude furie degl’orridi abissi de Serse recuerda a la excelente Maureen Forrester, para mí la mejor rendición de esta aria, mientras que la bellísima Dove sei, amato bene? de Rodelinda, una de mis arias favoritas para contratenor, está a la par de la exquisita versión de Andreas Scholl; incluso la archiconocida y múltiples veces grabada Ombra mai fu adquiere en su voz una dimensión nueva y más íntimista. Fagioli posee un magistral uso del legato y de la messa di voce, la coloratura de las arias es espectacular y su capacidad interpretativa supera a la de cualquier contratenor actual o de antaño.
El álbum concluye con una de las arias menos conocidas, Ch’io parta? de la ópera Parténope, que el contratenor interpreta con delicadeza y una gran gama de matices, poniendo el broche de oro a un disco de una calidad excepcional que respira emoción en cada aria.
Magistralmente acompañado por Il Pomo d’Oro bajo la dirección de la violinista búlgara Zefira Valova, este primer álbum de Fagioli dedicado íntegramente a Händel tiene un sonido brillante y es absolutamente imprescindible para todos los amantes de la música del genio de Halle.
