The most modern of the Passions of Christ. With their bold harmonies, their counterpoint of unmatched refinement, and an emotion that is palpable, the Responsories of Tenebrae offer the sacred counterpart to the last books of madrigals by Gesualdo, published the same year (1611). Paul Agnew and Les Arts Florissants continue the exploration unanimously praised by critics of these six increasingly venomous books. Their interpretation of the Responsories for the office of Holy Thursday subtly glides towards the assumed dolorism of the late scores of the prince of Venosa.
