Gesualdo is now known to have composed some of the most intensely expressive music ever written - and is also known for the lurid details of his private life. The French ensemble A Sei Voci has rich-toned voices which illuminate this extraordinary music; this release is among the 'second generation' of Gesualdo recordings following the pioneering work of the Deller Consort in the 1970s. Their success paved the way for wider recognition of Gesualdo's genius in the 1990s.
