Commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of Carlo Gesualdo, the harmonically adventurous and experimental 16th-century Italian composer, Prince of Venosa, Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort & Choir offer a newly repackaged reissue of their seminal recording of Tenebra, the composer’s final group of sacred madrigals devoted to Good Friday. The Taverner singers navigate Gesualdo’s highly symbolic polyphonic structures with idiomatic first-rate performances and incisive scholarship.

critical acclaim for Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort

“a recording of Bach which stands among the finest ... outstanding performances.” – International Record Review

(on J. S. Bach Trauer-Music: Music to mourn Prince Leopold, AV 2241)
