Franco Fagioli,George Frideric Handel

Handel, the superlative countertenor who arouses a frenzy and a shock! Fagioli’s second album on the DG label (the first album to be released in Japan), Fagioli’s smooth voice, wild power, and overwhelmingly superb technique give him an outstanding presence and charisma among the countertenors who are popular for his gender-bending, sensual voice that has led the recent baroque opera boom. Fagioli’s second album on the DG label (the domestic release is his first). The album includes Handel’s masterpiece arias, selected by the singer himself, and features overwhelming singing with a wide range of emotional expression. It also includes the classic and extremely popular “Ombra My Who”! In November 2018, she will be touring Japan with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, and songs from this album will be the centerpiece of their performance.
