Carlo Gesualdo is one of the most fascinating composers. It is hard to escape the temptation of seeing in his madrigals the tortured reflection of his psyche, beginning with the murder committed in 1590, when he caught his first wife Maria d’Avalos in blatant adultery with her lover Fabrizio Carafa. The madrigals of the Fifth and Sixth Books are to Gesualdo what the black paintings are to Goya: works conceived in a state of solitude, with no fetters on the artist’s imagination, born in enclosed spaces and used to moving around in their gloom. It is a music fitting to resonate in remote and unusual places. There remains, of course, the possibility of listening to it in concert but then, in order to liberate all its troubling charge, its sounds should be heard through a gate or a door, with the musicians singing out of sight in a different room. Perhaps the disc allows for a reenactment of these conditions. Try it out for yourselves…
With a score and enough time, it might be possible to memorize Carlo Gesualdo's madrigals. But who could live through it? Beyond their unexpected harmonies, unpredictable melodies, and nearly incomprehensible structures, Gesualdo's madrigals are unbearably expressive and overwhelmingly intense. And then there's the anguished poetry, poetry so extreme that it could be called at best mannerist and at worst sadomasochistic. For listeners to whom Wagner's Tristan is as mother's milk, Gesualdo's madrigals are a Hiroshima cocktail, heavy on the fallout.
But as lovely and lovable as Gesualdo's madrigals could ever sound, they do in this excellent recording of his fifth book of madrigals by the Spanish vocal sextet La Venexiana. Led by countertenor Claudio Cavina, La Venexiana sings with a pure tone and impeccable intonation, thereby making Gesualdo's tortured music sound as beautiful as imaginable. Cavina even leads performances of the excruciating Mercè grido piangendo and O tenebroso giorno to flawless magnificence. Whether one could listen to any performances often enough to memorize the music remains to be seen, but if one were to try it, these would be the recordings. Glossa' sound is open and deep.–James Leonard
