This program gives full justice to the modernity of Carlo Gesualdo, covering both his sacred music and his madrigals. It reproduces all the subtlety and chromaticism of his music, strictly respecting the temperament used in the composer's time. An added attraction is the music of his contemporary Ascanio Maione, scored for harp, harpsichord and organ.
