Gesualdo’s Second Book of Madrigals, performed on this recording by male voices only, is an even more radical study of the themes explored in Volume 1 (8570548), a continuation as it were of the same work.

Like Book 1, it was published in 1594 in Ferrara during the preparations for Gesualdo’s second wedding, and demonstrates his ability to treat the poetic word as a source of musical ideas.

The last two tracks present Gesualdo’s only two instrumental compositions.

Gramophone Magazine

February 2011

“I've found myself warming to the overall approach, which is relaxed and unhurried. This, combined with the ensemble's sound, securely underpinned by Walter Testolin's bass, allows points of detail to tell (for example, final or sectional cadences) that might otherwise be skated over.”

The Guardian

20th January 2011

****

“for the most part the 20 settings in book two...mostly inhabit the musical world of Gesualdo's older contemporaries such as De Rore and De Wert. But even if they broke no new ground, these are still pieces of great beauty and lyrical force, as the performances by the six male voices of Delitiae Musicae show.”
