Angels & Demons: Christmas Revels From Baroque Europe | I Fagiolini (Robert Hollingworth)

Angels & Demons: Christmas Revels From Baroque Europe 🎄 | I Fagiolini (Robert Hollingworth) 🎶 Angels singing to confused shepherds - the devil “shooting up in the air like a rocket!” - I Fagiolini brings an animated cast of Christmas characters to life in foot-tapping music from Italy, Germany and Spain. A hypnotic Neapolitan ’tarantula’ dance wards off Lucifer, while from Salamanca, a villancico for voices, strings and percussion brings the “the Devil down in flames!“ At the other end of the scale Bach’s ‘pizzicato’ paints Advent knocking on the door of Christ’s arrival, while Monteverdi’s much-loved ’Beatus vir’ gives a taste of Christmas Vespers. I Fagiolini returns to LIVE From London Christmas aiming to outdo its memorable 2020 Christmas Eve concert… hold on to your halos! Programme: Monteverdi - Beatus Vir Bach - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (BWV 61) Byrd - Lullaby Caresana - La Tarantella Iribarren - Xacara d
