Gesualdo, Nenna & Others: Madrigals
Having already recorded several acclaimed albums of Gesualdo madrigals, La Compagnia del Madrigale turn their attention to the Second Book. This set of songs was probably written after his infamous murder of his wife and her lover, and before his subsequent remarriage, and they are in general calmer in tone than those in the later books. Also included are nine additional madrigals by contemporaries, inspired by Gesualdo's remarkable style.
