Diego FasolisAbout
The other works featured on the disc, the Concerto for Organ No. 13 HWV 295 and the festive anthem Zadok the Priest, were the sort of pieces often performed by Handel himself alongside larger scale works like the Ode on St. Cecilia during his concert series. One of four Coronation Anthems that Handel composed for the coronation of George II in 1727, Zadok the Priest (HWV 258) was written by the composer to texts from the King James Bible. It has been sung at every subsequent British coronation service.
Diego Fasolis studied at the Conservatory of Zurich and later with Gaston Litaize and Michael Radulescu. Since 1988 he has been conductor of the early music ensemble I Barocchisti, with whom he has made a string of successful discs on the “Arts” label, including acclaimed recordings of J.S. Bach’s Orchestral Suites and Brandenburg Concertos.
