Gesualdo - Responsoria 1611 (2CD)

Facts The second project of Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe for Phi focuses on the Renaissance music of Carlo Gesualdo. The Tenebrae Responsories comprise a set of pieces for Holy Week, in all 27 motets for six voices, a psalm and hymn, published under his own supervision in 1611. The acoustics of the church in the Asciano village in Tuscany creates the perfect soundscape for this 2011 recording.
