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.
'Park's direction of the music is sensitive and alert variegated...Words and polyphonic strands are lucid, and while The Gesualdo Six can build up intense and resonant climaxes, their voices are never forced...In sum, these are accounts of haunting beauty - warmly recommended.' BBC Music Choral & Song Choice April 2022

In monte Oliveti
Tristis est anima mea
Ecce vidimus eum
Amicus meus osculi
Judas mercator pessimus
Unus ex discipulis meis
Eram quasi agnus innocens
Una hora non potuistis
Seniores populi
Christus factus est - Joanna Ward
