Our Take

Step aside, boring classical music critics, because I am bringing you the scoop on the latest album from Les Arts Florissants and William Christie. Gesualdo: Madrigali is a wild ride through the mad genius of composer Carlo Gesualdo, who was famous for his boundary-pushing harmonies and scandalous personal life.

From the first notes of the opening track, you know you're in for a treat. The vocal performances are hauntingly beautiful, with the singers effortlessly navigating Gesualdo's intricate melodies and dissonant chords. Christie's conducting is top-notch, guiding the ensemble through each piece with precision and flair.

One standout moment on the album is the madrigal "Moro, lasso, al mio duolo," which showcases Gesualdo's masterful command of tension and release. The singers convey the emotion of the piece with raw power, drawing the listener in from the very first note.

Overall, Gesualdo: Madrigali is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their classical music horizons. Les Arts Florissants and William Christie have once again proven why they are at the top of their game, delivering a captivating and unforgettable experience for the listener. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Gesualdo's music transport you to another world. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
