Madrigals, Book 1

Album by Carlo Gesualdo & Delitiæ Musicæ & Marco Longhini

Madrigals, Book 1 is the first book of madrigals by Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo, published in 1594. The collection is characterised by bold chromaticism, abrupt harmonic shifts and expressive text-setting that depart from late Renaissance conventions, signalling Gesualdo's early contribution to a more intense, expressive vocal style in the late 16th century.
