Tenor Alessandro Fisher was a member of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme between 2018 and 2021. Studying Modern and Medieval Languages at Cambridge, where he was a Choral Scholar at Clare College, then continuing his studies at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Alessandro Fisher was named by Gramophone as “One To Watch”, his latest album with Rubicon Classics was given a gllowing review from Gramophone Magazine. Adrian Edwards wrote “I’d suggest that not since Martin Isepp accompanied Janet Baker on that bargain Saga long-player from many moons ago has a British singer made a more auspicious recital debut on record.”
During the period of lockdown in 2020, tenor Alessandro Fisher and his wife spent many hours in their garden. A heightened awareness of the beauty of nature, the flowers in their garden and the changes to the garden as winter moved to spring, and then to summer formed the basis of this beautifully curated recital. All the songs are about flowers, the language of flowers, and flowers as a tokens of love. Above all, the album is about the way songs of the many composers on this album reference deep human emotions and the role of flowers in these emotions. Where words fail, the language of flowers and nature take over. Nature regenerates, life continues, though for some composers, the short-lived glory of flowers is also an allegory for loss, or indeed the transience of romantic love. This live recording was made by BBC Radio 3 at the Wigmore Hall in London. Alessandro was the recipient of a BBT Fellowship in 2022.
