5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid, September 25, 1999

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cross-section of Gesualdo's sacred style, September 23, 2003

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".

5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to Gesualdo's music., September 17, 1998

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.

For those who do not know, Don Carlo Gesualdo (ca. 1561-1613) has the dubious honor of being the only composer who was also a murderer. Read more

Don Carlo Gesualdo (1560 - 1613) was rich, artistic, and - as the second son of a noble Neapolitan family - free to indulge his passion for music. Read more
