The Gesualdo SixConductor
Owain ParkAbout
'Queen of Hearts' addresses and reflects on queens spiritual (the Virgin Mary) and temporal (Mary Tudor and Anne Boleyn, among others) in a programme of music largely of the sixteenth century, but spiced with two short works from the twenty-first.
"There are many engrossing and lovely musical experiences here." - BBC Music Magazine
Reviews
If the listener doesn’t go weak at the knees at the warmly immaculate opening chords of The Gesualdo Six’s latest album then a hospital visit is recommended.
At the centre of the disc is a group of ‘regretz’ chansons, the starting point for the title of the disc, inspired by the life of Anne of Brittany, beginning with pieces written for Margaret of Austria and preserved in the chansonnier that she commissioned. ... All in all this is a treasure trove of works, some little known and rarely performed, in a wide variety of styles and vocal scorings spanning the first half of the 16th century. Beautifully sung and meticulously researched, it will generously repay repeated hearings. Iain Fenlon
