Il Complesso BaroccoConductor
Alan CurtisAbout
Beginning with the murder he committed in 1590, when he caught his first wife Maria d’Avalos in blatant adultery with her lover Fabrizio Carafa, the madrigals of the fifth and sixth books are to Gesualdo what the black paintings are to Goya: works conceived in a state of solitude, with no limits on the artist’s imagination, born in enclosed spaces and used to moving around in their gloom.
Gesualdo’s Sixth Book of Madrigals contains some of the most extraordinary harmonic thinking in the history of Western music – it lives on the edge of modality, its chromatic lines forming chord progressions that still sound fresh and unpredictable to modern ears.
