James WeeksAbout
Recorded in 2015-16, the four works on the disc span forty years of Finnissy's career: the most recent, Gesualdo: Libro Sesto (2012-13), was written for EXAUDI, who also gave the belated premiere in 2016 of Tom Fool's Wooing (1975-8/2015) as well as reviving Cipriano (1974) and Kelir (1981) after decades of neglect. Each work is a technical and expressive tour-de-force that 'pushes mind and body to the limits of their flexibility, reach, stamina and control'.
Reviews
This is one of those recordings where composer and performers seem uniquely matched. One senses a degree of commitment that is rare even from an ensemble that isn’t known for pulling its punches. ... Exaudi’s wonderful sopranos are showcased throughout the recital, but at the very end it’s the bassi profundi who have the last word. Superb. Fabrice Fitch
