Gesualdo: Leçons de Ténèbres
About the Event
Embark to a musical journey with Graindelavoix at the beautiful Oratoire du Louvre in Paris.
Carlo Gesualdo, prince of Venosa, enjoyed a dubious celebrity to say the least — he murdered his wife whom he suspected of infidelity. But he is also the author of a music whose audacity, four centuries later, still amazed and whose Responsoria represent the ultimate achievement. After revolutionizing our perception of the Middle Ages, Graindelavoix illuminates this incomparable music with a new light, with the harshness it demands.
