  • Description

    It is a great pleasure that OUR Recordings is releasing this exceptional work by Peter Navarro-Alonso, featuring the Grammy-winning ensemble Theatre of Voices and Ensemble Stralo under the direction of Paul Hillier. Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c. 1561-1613) was a Renaissance composer known for both his groundbreaking music and the infamous murder of his wife and her lover. While historical records about his personality are limited and contradictory, his music, especially his 104 madrigals, is notable for its bold harmonic experimentation, centuries ahead of its time. Composer Peter Navarro-Alonso, long fascinated by Gesualdo, created the hour-long piece In flagrante delicto in collaboration with violinist Christina Astrand and conductor Paul Hillier. The composition explores the darkness of Gesualdo's psyche through musical quotations and has been performed and recorded by Ensemble Stralo and Theatre of Voices.
