The Collegium Vocale Gent and its founder Philippe Herreweghe continue the recording of the works of Carlo Gesualdo with "Silenzio Mio," his Fourth Book of Madrigals published in 1596. The composer, considered one of the most eccentric yet also one of the most creative figures of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, experiments with new melodic and harmonic effects that captivated listeners of the time. These innovations accompany poems by Alessandro Guarini and anonymous authors, all of which honor the expression of personal feelings, particularly those of a new literary "pathos." A true historical testimony of the artistic turning point taking place at the court of Ferrara in the early 17th century, this fourth book is part of the discographic continuity of the Collegium Vocale, praised by critics for its "striking homogeneity, contrapuntal transparency, and brilliance even in the most troubled pieces" (Diapason).
