Quinto libro dei madrigali

Album by Carlo Gesualdo & The Consort of Musicke & Anthony Rooley

Quinto libro dei madrigali is the fifth book of madrigals by Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo, published in 1611. The collection presents five-voice madrigals characteristic of late Renaissance vocal music, notable for their intense chromaticism, abrupt harmonic shifts and expressive text-setting that mark the culmination of Gesualdo's experimental approach to madrigal composition and its place in early 17th-century music history.
