One hour of browsing through early music, with an accent on Masses. Responsoria for the Holy Week of Carlo Gesualdo.
About hundred year BB (Before Bach), Italian composer and nobleman Carlo Gesualdo wrote his lesser known, but just as compelling Responsoria for the Holy Week. During this hour, you can listen to a selection of his music for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
For every day, we have a different performing ensemble: the King’s Singers, Ensemble Arte Musica and the Hilliard Ensemble.
