Our Take

The latest offering from the Marian Consort and Rory McCleery, "Gesualdo: Sacrae Cantiones," takes listeners on a journey through the haunting and otherworldly music of composer Carlo Gesualdo. Known for his dark and experimental compositions, Gesualdo's work is brought to life by the hauntingly beautiful voices of the Marian Consort.

From the opening track to the final note, the album is a masterclass in Renaissance choral music, with the group's seamless harmonies and impeccable phrasing perfectly capturing the raw emotion and intensity of Gesualdo's compositions. The combination of the consort's angelic voices and McCleery's sensitive direction creates a truly immersive listening experience that transports the listener to a world of mysterious beauty and intense passion.

Standout tracks include the ethereal "O vos omnes" and the spine-tingling "Aestimatus sum," both of which showcase the group's remarkable vocal control and emotional depth. The album's production is top-notch, with every vocal nuance and dynamic shift captured in stunning clarity.

Overall, "Gesualdo: Sacrae Cantiones" is a triumph of early music interpretation, with the Marian Consort and Rory McCleery proving once again why they are at the top of their game. Whether you're a seasoned choral music aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the power and beauty of Renaissance music in all its glory.
