Collegium Vocale Gent
About the Event
That Carlo Gesualdo threw his wife and her lover over the cliff is one of the juiciest facts in music history. Could there be a connection between the drama and the eccentric polyphony of the Prince of Venosa? Gesualdo's Fourth Book of Madrigals dates from shortly after the fact and attests to his unrestrained experimentalism and emotional inflammability. Collegium Vocale Gent extracts the finest nuances from these songs of searing longing and sweet love pain.
