About

The irresistible and warm voice of countertenor Xavier Sabata never ceases to bewitch us in his new medley of jubilant baroque arias. Alexander the Great inspired the theme of his new album: Porpora, Handel, Bononcini and many other composers were seduced by this character who mingled the strength of the Emperor and the sensibility of a man.

Xavier Sabata focuses on that multifaceted feeling that keeps nourishing music, especially baroque opera. With the Spanish conductor Dani Espasa and his ensemble Vespres d’Arnadí, the singer performs a tailor-made programme: the new exciting chapter of a unique voice and a fascinating artist.

Reviews

Xavier Sabata has taken Alexander the Great as the subject of his latest recital, a carefully programmed and finely executed disc, as one might expect from a singer whose work has always combined beauty, intelligence and psychological perception in equal measure. ... Sabata sings this complex programme with his customary elegance and flair. His dark, warm alto has always sounded good in slower arias, where the long lines flow with ease and his breath control is exemplary. ... A wonderfully accomplished recital, and highly recommended.  Tim Ashley
