Carlo Gesualdo was a Renaissance Italian nobleman and composer whose harmonic innovations were centuries ahead of his era. The Quinto Libro (Fifth Book) of madrigals, published in 1611, represents the pinnacle of his genius. La Venexiana, the Venetian vocal ensemble, brings these intricate polyphonic works to life with nuanced interpretation and pristine ensemble singing on this 2005 Glossa release. Gesualdo's madrigals feature daring chromatic movement and emotional intensity that challenged the musical conventions of his time. His music shifts between tender intimacy and dramatic upheaval, driven by intricate counterpoint and unexpected harmonic turns. For lovers of Renaissance vocal music and adventurous early music.
