Customer Reviews

Splendid
RUN TO BUY THIS! This is by far one of the best CD's of Gesualdo's music on the market today. Superb blend (especially in track 1) especially for music this difficult.

The best introduction to Gesualdo's music.
A high-quality recording of some of the most fascinating pieces ever written for voice. I favor this recording to all others of Gesualdo's music.

The music is fascinating and sounds almost modern.
This recording is a fascinating collection of choral works that stand out from other music of the same period. Gesualdo used a chromatic style of composition that sounds almost modern (even though the music was written in the 16th century). The Oxford Camerata led by Jeremy Summerly sound splendid. Their control is really impressive. The recording is excellent and is well worth it's bargain price.
