"Georg Friedrich Handel understood how to move souls through music", says Franco Fagioli. For his upcoming album, he chose arias he had a special connection with. "I tried to choose arias that speak to me. So I hope they also say something to you." Credit: Deutsche Grammophon
PlayingFranco Fagioli - Rossini (Trailer)
For his debut album on DG, Franco has recorded an all Rossini album. He has chosen so called "trouser roles" that approach the delightful confusion between voice and gender, particularly in Rossini’s rarely performed serious operas, with many male characters whose substantial roles were written for women and not for castrati. But the castrato voice fascinated Rossini, their "purity and wonderful flexibility; their profoundly penetrating accent". Credit: Deutsche Grammophon
