Synopsis

Album Description
Gesualdo da Venosa dedicated his life to music. He was tortured by guilt for much of his life, and he may have given expression to it in his music. For this he is famous, not only for his intensely expressive madrigals, which use a chromatic language not heard again until the 19th century, but also for committing what are amongst the most notorious murders in musical history. This wonderful CD features one of the best Italian choirs for ancient music.
