Not a bad little link to Gesualdo, a composer I truly love to listen to. He wrote some of the most challenging music of the time. By the way, besides his crazy madrigals he wrote some hauntingly beautiful sarcred music, including settings of the Tenebrae service, which is available on CD from ECM sung by the Hilliard ensemble. I highly recommend it.

Thank you! I've got it! 2 CD's, right? But haven't listened to it yet. (Spank me!) I've also got Gesualdo recordings by William Christie and by Phillips and the Tallis Scholars - aren't the Scholars wonderful to listen to? (Although I understand their use of women's voices isn't always authentic, who cares, they sound and sing beautifully).
