About

Paul Agnew and Les Arts Florissants conclude their exploration of this fascinating corpus.

Even more than in his first books, Gesualdo here displays incredible modernity, playing in inimitable fashion on dissonances and chromaticisms.

Love and death, joys and sorrows embrace and clash amid ever bolder harmonies.

“Fully integrated with the musical line, the singers avoid melodrama through intimate, small gestures as if acting for screen, not stage.” – Gramophone Critics’ Choice 2021
Gramophone Editor's Choice
