This 1990 recording demonstrates how well a collection of related works can be organized into a cohesive program with a clear, far-sighted theme. It is a collection of Stravinsky's choral works, with Les noces (The Wedding) as its focal point. Opening with a collection of traditional Russian bridal songs, the disc then treats listeners to ...

performed by King's Singers
composed by Carlo Gesualdo, Gregorian Chant

The King's Singers originally made their reputation in the 1960s on the strength of their interpretations of Renaissance music. Given their wide popularity over the years, and their contractual obligations to major companies such as EMI and RCA, the King's Singers have been required to branch out into areas, such as the music of the Beatles and ...

Carlo Gesualdo: Madrigali Libri I-III more music like this

performed by Alexander Weimann (harpsichord), Gesualdo Consort, Lee Santana (lute), Nele Gramß (soprano)
composed by Carlo Gesualdo

When you want music filled to the brim with despair and death, Carlo Gesualdo is the composer you want. Consider opening lines like those of the first four of his third collection of madrigals: "You want me to die," "Whether I die or not," "Alas, life of despair," and "I languish and die": even Dowland and Shostakovich are cheerier than Gesualdo. ...

This album of unaccompanied choral music by the Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola in New York City looks like a sampler from the outside, but the notes reveal a fairly specific program, which can be interpreted either as "Christ's persecution and suffering intermingled with his concession to God's will with his redeeming final transformation into pure ...

Gesualdo: Quinto Libro di Madrigali (1611)

Gesualdo: Quinto Libro di Madrigali (1611) (2005) more music like this

performed by La Venexiana
composed by Carlo Gesualdo

With a score and enough time, it might be possible to memorize Carlo Gesualdo's madrigals. But who could live through it? Beyond their unexpected harmonies, unpredictable melodies, and nearly incomprehensible structures, Gesualdo's madrigals are unbearably expressive and overwhelmingly intense. And then there's the anguished poetry, poetry so ...

La Tavola Cromatica: Un'accademia musicale dal Cardinale Barberini

La Tavola Cromatica: Un'accademia musicale dal Cardinale Barberini (2004) more music like this

performed by Earle and His Viols, Evelyn Tubb (soprano), Marie Nishiyama (harp)
composed by Carlo Gesualdo, Cherubino Waesich, Domenico Mazzocchi, Ercole Bottrigari, Giovanni Pietro del Buono, Johannes Hieronymus Kapsberger, Michelangelo Rossi, Pietro Eredia, Pomponio Nenna, Tarquinio Merula

The material on this disc may be a footnote to musical history, but, as anyone who has read David Foster Wallace can tell you, the best stuff is sometimes in the footnotes. La tavola cromatica contains music that might have been associated with a viol academy of early seventeenth century Rome, established by Cardinal Francesco Barberini -- scion ...

The Art of Melancholy

The Art of Melancholy (2006) more music like this

performed by Ensemble Daedalus, Roberto Festa (recorder), Ensemble Daedalus (choir, chorus), Roberto Festa (conductor)

This ambitious German release takes an unusual cross section of music from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, which is conventionally divided up by composer, country, genre, or patron. Here the Ensemble Daedalus and its director Roberto Festa instead examine a single affect, melancholy, as it manifested itself in various places ...
