Madrigali libro sesto: Io pur respiro in cosi gran dolore
La Compagnia del Madrigale
How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?
In this particular case, I’ve always been fascinated by Carlo Gesualdo’s music and his troubled life—he’s one of those 16th century nobles who murdered people and then fought his demons the rest of his life, and his music absolutely reflects that!
I stumbled on this particular madrigal of his while doing deeper research into his compositional methods for a project I’m about to start. And I’ve just fallen in love with it!
