About
Well on time for St Cecilia’s Day on 22 November, Pan classics presents a new recording of the impressive ode composed by Handel. The fine Basel-based orchestra Musica Fiorita, conducted by Daniela Dolci, performs this well-known work with their trademark historically informed knowledge and elegance, perfectly translating Handel’s intentions in terms of underlining the text with very intentional use of musical affects. The Ode for St Cecilia’s Day is joined on this CD by the Concerto grosso op. 6 no. 4, a further ocassion to appreciate the ensemble’s fine playing.

February 2018
Musica Fiorita play the Overture with stately elegance…Fielding a modestly sized choir of three voices per part, including the soloists, Daniela Dolci shapes the choruses assertively and her tempos are judicious…Interesting ideas tend to be etched boldly at the expense of poetic charms.
