Splendid,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gesualdo: Complete Sacred Music for Five Voices (Audio CD)
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.

Excellent cross-section of Gesualdo's sacred style,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gesualdo: Complete Sacred Music for Five Voices (Audio CD)
This is a very good collection of Gesualdo's sacred motet style, performed beautifully. Most of these pieces are much more conservative and less chromatic than his madrigals, but they are exquisite and expresive and every bit as competent as the styles of contemporaries such as Gesualdo's alter-ego, Palestrina. Much of this music makes his mental turmoil and fear of damnation over his infamous murders achingly clear, especially the disturbing mode changes and chromaticism on parts of the text that say things like "have mercy on me" and words like "my sorrow and "my tears".

The best introduction to Gesualdo's music.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gesualdo: Complete Sacred Music for Five Voices (Audio CD)
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.
