The Gesualdo Six Owain Park – Gesualdo: Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday; Tallis: Lamentations [CD]

Description

The expressive extremity of the music and the notoriety of the life seem inextricably bound together where Gesualdo is concerned. Here, his Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Responsories provide the climax of a programme which opens with an astonishingly fine rendition of the Tallis Lamentations.
