Description:

Here is something deeply troubling and inscrutable in Carlo Gesualdoâ??s music, something that any listener, even the most inexpert one, will unfailingly experience. This most particularly holds for Tenebrae Responsoria (1611), his definitive statement, his monument, his testament. It is as if this work, firmly embedded in the framework of liturgy for the Holy Week and reaching back to the practices of the Gregorian chant, would constantly extend over its boundaries and transgress its time and setting, immediately addressing modernity, disturbing all the rules in a severe tension, reaching into something that borders on chaos and madness, within the very order and religious devotion it fully espouses. Graindelavoix, that groundbreaking ensemble based in Antwerp and directed by BjÃ¶rn Schmelzer, are the ideal performers for this disquieting repertoire which originally was sung at Gesualdoâ??s castle and with probably only one listener in the audience: Gesualdo himself... In a tour de force lasting over three hours, recorded over ten days in summer 2019, the singers fully display all the features which, after 16 albums(all on Glossa) and hundreds of concerts, have made their sound a truly trademark one. In words of Schmelzer, â??this is our most important recording to dateâ?. - TAVERNER CONSORT & CHOIR/ANDREW PARROTT

Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort and Choir honour the 400th anniversary of 16th-century Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo with a reissue of their seminal recording of Tenebrae Responses for Good Friday. Honouring the 400th anniversary of Carlo Gesualdo, the harmonically adventurous and experimental 16th-century Italian composer, Prince of Venosa, Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort and Choir offer a newly repackaged reissue of their seminal recording of Tenebae, the composer's final group of sacred madrigals devoted to Good Friday. The Taverner singers navigate Gesualdo's highly symbolic polyphonic structures with idiomatic first-rate performances and incisive scholarship.

Recorded at St. Bartholomew's Church, Orford, Suffolk, 23-25 October 1996 Includes 20-page booklet with Latin lyrics and English translation. Total time 67:16
