Sublime excesses. After the success of the double album dedicated to the first two books (Gramophone Award 2020), Paul Agnew and Les Arts Florissants explore the Ferrara period of the "Prince of Darkness." These madrigals from the 3rd and 4th books mark a turning point in Gesualdo's art, the inner turmoil and demons of the composer being embodied through a significantly enhanced expressiveness and an absolutely unprecedented use of dissonance for the time - one would have to wait until the 20th century to find similar audacity.
