Gesualdo: Madrigali, Libri primo & secondo
Early music ensemble Les Arts Florissants, conducted by Paul Agnew, explore the First and Second Books of Madrigals by the fascinating and notorious Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo. His startlingly dissonant musical language, rich with chromaticism, contrasts markedly to that of Monteverdi, whose madrigals the group have previously recorded. Gramophone Award 2020.
