J.S. Bach - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (BWV 61)

Handel - Pifa, from Messiah
Cristoforo Caresana - La Tarantella
Juan Francés de Iribarre - Xacara de Navidad
I Fagiolini brings an animated cast of Christmas characters to life in foot-tapping music from Italy, Germany and Spain. A hypnotic Neapolitan 'tarantula' dance wards off Lucifer, while from Salamanca, a villancico for voices, strings and percussion brings the 'the Devil down in flames!' At the other end of the scale Bach's 'pizzicato' paints Advent knocking on the door of Christ's arrival, while Monteverdi's much-loved Beatus Vir gives a taste of Christmas Vespers.
