That Carlo Gesualdo murdered his wife and her lover is one of the most sensational facts in music history. Could there be a connection between this drama and the eccentric polyphony of the Prince of Venosa? Gesualdo’s Fourth Book of Madrigals, dating from shortly after these events, reflects his unrestrained experimental drive and emotional volatility. Collegium Vocale Gent brings out the finest nuances in these songs of searing desire and sweet love pain.
Collegium Vocale Gent was founded in 1970 by a group of friends studying at the University of Ghent, on Philippe Herreweghe’s initiative. They were one of the first ensembles to use new ideas about baroque performance practice in vocal music. Their text-oriented and rhetorical approach gave the ensemble the transparent sound with which it would acquire world fame and perform at the major concert venues and music festivals of the world. In recent years, Collegium Vocale Gent has grown organically into an extremely flexible ensemble whose wide repertoire encompasses a range of different stylistic periods. Its greatest strength is its ability to assemble the ideal performing forces for any project.
