  • 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 !

  • Thankyou below for the translation

    FAB!!!

  • 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.

  • Many thanks for translation ! X

  • Can someone translate the Spanish below ?

  • 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!!!!

see all

  • What an experience...! Lovely!

  • 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.

  • @Birgita

    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...
