Emma Kirkby & Daniel Taylor
"Pergolesi Transformed:
the Bach/Pergolesi Psalm 51"

Emma KirkbySoprano Dame Emma Kirkby, for many the personification of the early music movement, returns to San Diego with countertenor Daniel Taylor, director of theDaniel Taylor Theatre of Early Music, in a program including music of Handel and the Bach’s setting of Psalm 51, Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden, BWV 1083, based on the Stabat Mater of Pergolesi. These two superb soloists will perform with Musica Angelica under the direction of Martin Haselböck.

I would sooner part with one of my digits than with [Kikby’s] rendition of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater… (Lansing McLoskey, Boston Early Music News)

If there’s a better countertenor in the world than Daniel Taylor, he keeps himself well hidden. (Richard Todd in the Ottawa Citizen)

…at that moment, [Musica Angelica] convinced me that there could be no
more meaningful music... (Los Angeles Times)
