Il Pomo d’OroConductor
Giuseppe MalettoAbout
Conducted by Giuseppe Maletto, the ensemble presents Gesualdo’s fascinating first book of Sacræ Cantiones.
Less well known than his madrigals, the nineteen five-part motets that make up this work explore the theme of repentance through the Liturgy of Penance and the figure of the Virgin Mary.
The painfully voluptuous chromaticism and the expressive intensity and refinement of the lines make this work one of the most singular of that period.
Gesualdo’s interpretation of the liturgical text is intensely dramatic and highly personal.
Il Pomo d’Oro renders perfectly the mysterious beauty of this music.
