Success at the BBC Proms for I Fagiolini
I Fagiolini, accompanied by the Barokksolistene from Norway, performed Monterverdi’s Volgendo il ciel, Arianna – Lamento d’Arianna and Il ballo delle ingrate to a full house at Cadogan Hall as part of the BBC Proms Chamber Music 2008. I Fagiolini was also featured as BBC Radio 3’s “Artist of the Week”.
Selected Review Quotes:
“This lunchtime PCM slot may have been more dilated in focus but it offered something close to an emotional strip-show of its own, treating the Cadogan Hall's genteel audience to bloody bombast and erotic longing, before dragging them to the depths of hell and back.”

“One of the glories of I Fagiolini is how its members combine meticulous precision with warmth and spontaneity; its members depict Monteverdi as resoundingly human as well as being a master of composition.”
Classical Source, August 2008
“Nothing’s predictable in the world of early music when Robert Hollingworth and his crack vocal team, I Fagiolini, take on the splendours of the Renaissance and Baroque. For their Chamber Prom they turn the dial to Monteverdi, aided by the Barokksolistene.”
