This ensemble, with fewer voices than in a whole choir allows to seize all the nuances of this complex and beautiful work.
Very well sung indeed.

Deller had such an impressive voice and distinct tone you can only follow his line... he draws you to listen only to him. Great man!!!!

This is the most learned discussion I've ever seen on YouTube. It's nice to know that there's somebody with brains out there. As for Gesualdo, he's a sexually perverted 20th Century musician who stepped into a timewarp and found himself in the body of the Prince of Venona in the 1500s. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

I only just heard of Gesualdo. There's a good article about him -- his bloodiness -- in the December 19 & 26 issue of The New Yorker.

It's between them and The Kassiopeia Quintet I think, both are superb.
-
The best interpretation of Gesualdo's Madrigals that I know is that of La Venexiana!

These disagreements over vibrato are just silly. A vibrato is part of a well-functioning singing voice. Sometime in the 1980s choral singers started turning the vibrato off. The production of the Diller singers is superb and the vibratos are natural and human. I sang with the San Francisco Symphony chorus, sans vibrato, while the string section continued producing vibrato. Is this inconsistent? No, just a matter of performance taste at this time.

@Birgita it makes PERCECT sense. If only the mad Prince wrote operas too...

@Birgita
In not comparing Gesualdo to Wagner musically only the vibrato which can be more extreme in Wagnerian singers !

The Vibrato is not extreme _ if you want extreme then listen to Wagner !

I've heard lots of versions of this work but it works best slow - it really exposes the harmony and the tension it creates.
Regardless of this and whatever tempo people enjoy Gesualdo's music so keep listening to his music.
