Early music megastars I Fagiolini bring their trademark flair and style once again to the music of Monteverdi.

‘Flaming Heart’ draws together many aspects of Monteverdi’s secular works on a theme of war and love performed in a stunning semi-dramatised performance.

This solo-voice ensemble, specialising in Renaissance and contemporary music brings their passionate performance to the magnificent Chester 
                                                          Cathedral and is not to 
                                                          be missed.

“…the audience is made to feel that it is actually inside the music: stung by the biting discords, caressed by  the velvety sonority of the consolatory consonances, haunted by the anguished chromatic lines, astonished by the sudden darts of harmonic daring, invigorated by the syncopated dance rhythms, and finally overwhelmed by the intensity of these miniature choral-dramas.” The Times
