Franco Fagioli
Franco Fagioli was born in 1981 in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. He began studying the piano at the music college in his home town, then studied singing at the Institute of Art at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. In 1997 he founded the choir of San Martín de Porres with the aim of providing opportunities for young people in his region to experience music. Encouraged by his singing teacher Annelise Skovmand, as well as Celina Lis and maestro Ricardo Yost, he decided to pursue a career as a countertenor. In 2003 he won the prestigious Bertelsmann International Singing Competition “Neue Stimmen.“ This marked the beginning of his international career, leading to performances at the Handel Festivals in Karlsruhe and Halle, the Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele, Bonn Opera, Aalto Theater in Essen, Cologne Opera, Staatsoper Stuttgart, Zürich Opera, Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, Oslo Opera, Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, Festival della Valle d’Istria in Martina Franca, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and the Teatro Argentino in La Plata. His portrayal of the title role in Handel’s Giulio Cesare in Zürich, Oslo, and Karlsruhe was a sensation. His US debut at the Chicago Opera Theater in the title role of Cavalli’s Giasone in 2010 was enthusiastically received. Franco Fagioli has performed with conductors including Rinaldo Alessandrini, Alan Curtis, Gabriel Garrido, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Michael Hofstetter, René Jacobs, Konrad Junghänel, José Manuel Quintana, Marc Minkowski, Riccardo Muti, and Christophe Rousset.

Reviews
[...] Fagioli’s new recital disc, inconspicuously titled Canzone e Cantate, heralds the arrival of a world-class artist. This is an instant classic a must-have. [...]
(Oliver Camacho, The Countertenor Voice, März 2011)
[...] Die Freude daran, einen ganzen Kosmos zu gestalten, strahlt aus jeder Note und macht den Zauber dieser Aufnahme aus. Fagiolis Stimme klingt unbekümmert und ungeschliffen im positivsten Sinne. Das Bonbon dieser Aufnahme ist zugleich eine Empfehlung ins nächste Fach: Seine Variationen von Paisiellos „Nel cor più non mi sento” sind vollmundig und süß, rührend und ehrlich und mit Grund zur Vorfreude auf eine glanzvolle Weiterentwicklung.
(Julia Kaiser, Fono Forum 12/10)
[...] Es gelingt [Fagioli], seiner Stimme ungeahnte Lieblichkeit zu entlocken, bekrönt von einem wunderschönen Schlusston. [...]
(Das Opernglas, Dezember 2010)
[...] Haben Scholl mit dem Konzern Universal und Jaroussky mit Virgin mächtige PR-Partner im Rücken, muss sich der Argentinier Franco Fagioli auf die im Vergleich kleine Firma Carus verlassen. Was nicht weiter schlimm ist, verfügt der 29-Jährige doch über den eigentümlichsten, aufreizendsten Counter-Klang der vier. Die gutturale Tongebung mag bei Gesangslehrern Stirnrunzeln verursachen. Das schnelle Vibrato, die geerdeten Töne, der feine Witz des Vortrags machen die „Canzone e Cantate” aber zum Hörgenuss. Von sommerlichen Liebeswonnen singt Fagioli, lässt lustvoll das „Als ob” durchblitzen - und klingt in schnellen Nummern wie ein männliches Ebenbild der Bartoli. [...]

Mit der Titelpartie in Händels "Giulio Cesare" in Zürich, Oslo und Karlsruhe sorgte Franco Fagioli für eine Sensation! Jetzt stellt der aus Argentinien stammende Countertenor seine erste Solo-CD vor. Mit Canzonen und Kantaten von Frescobaldi bis Antonio Vivaldi sowie aus Händels italienischer Zeit vermittelt er darauf ein lebendiges Bild der Musikkultur des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts.
(MDR Figaro, Sendung Take five (CD-Tipps der Woche), 22.11.2010)
[...] Auch andere Angebote sind verlockend – aber er wählt sehr sorgfältig aus, für was seine Stimme wann bereit ist. Das ist das eigentlich Erstaunliche. Franco Fagioli verliert nie den Überblick. Und das merkt man auch seiner herzerwärmenden und zugleich sorgfältig gesetzten ersten CD an. [...] In jedem Satz wird deutlich, warum die Kritiker sich überschlagen vor Begeisterung für den 28jährigen Argentinier. Seine Spielfreude auf der Bühne spiegelt sich in den raschen Stimmungswechseln, die er auszudrücken vermag. [...] Die Paisiello-Arie ist das exquisiteste Schmuckstück auf Fagiolis Debüt-Album. Sie steht allerdings zwischen so raffiniert interpretierten Barock-Schätzen, dass man die CD am besten gleich mehrfach hört um alle Nuancen auszukosten.
