Hear Victoria’s utterly sublime eight-voice motets from Renaissance Rome and Madrid alongside the highly intimate ‘Tenebrae for Maundy Thursday’ but also rarely heard jewels such as ‘Nigra sum’ (why does it begin in joyful triple time?) and the Song of Songs ecstasy of ‘Vidi speciosam’. In I Fagiolini’s 40th anniversary year, enjoy Victoria's serene polyphony with engaging introductions from director Robert Hollingworth.

In an age of AI, I Fagiolini is a hand-painted original. Founder director Robert Hollingworth has spent much of his life considering how audiences receive music, instead of just how performers want to deliver it: engagement with audiences both live and on film has always been at the heart of the ensemble’s work.
