Our Take

In a world full of bland, copycat music, Graindelavoix and Bjorn Schmelzer's rendition of Carlo Gesualdo's Tenebrae is a breath of fresh air. This album is like a wild rollercoaster ride through the twisted mind of Gesualdo, a composer infamous for his dark and complex harmonies.

From the haunting opening notes of the First Nocturne to the intense climax of the Third Nocturne, this album takes you on a journey through the depths of despair and longing. Schmelzer's direction is masterful, guiding the ensemble through Gesualdo's intricate polyphony with precision and emotion.

Graindelavoix's vocal performances are simply jaw-dropping. The blend of voices is impeccable, creating a sound that is at once ethereal and visceral. From the whispered confessions of "In monte Oliveti" to the thunderous cries of "O vos omnes," every moment is delivered with passion and conviction.

This album is not for the faint of heart. Its stark beauty and unapologetic darkness will leave you breathless and
