Responsoria 1611

Album by Carlo Gesualdo & Philippe Herreweghe & Collegium Vocale Gent

Responsoria 1611 is a collection of sacred vocal music by Carlo Gesualdo, published in 1611. The pieces employ intense chromaticism, abrupt harmonic shifts and madrigalesque expressive text-setting that bridge late Renaissance polyphony and emerging Baroque affect, reflecting a late-career exploration of heightened harmonic language in Gesualdo's oeuvre.
First released: 1st September 2013
