  • Description

    Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort and Choir honour the 400th anniversary of 16th-century Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo with a reissue of their seminal recording of Tenebrae Responses for Good Friday.

    Honouring the 400th anniversary of Carlo Gesualdo, the harmonically adventurous and experimental 16th-century Italian composer, Prince of Venosa, Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort and Choir offer a newly repackaged reissue of their seminal recording of Tenebae, 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.

    Personnel: Taverner Consort & Choir, Andrew Parrott (director)

    Critical acclaim for Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort:

    "A keen and dramatic Orpheus...brilliant, impassioned and lyrically supple" - BBC Music Magazine Opera Choice (on Monteverdi L'Orfeo)

    "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)
