After the success of " Gesualdo : Madrigali, Libri primo e secondo ", crowned best Early Music recording at the 2020 Gramophone Awards, this new album from the harmonia mundi label presents the second instalment of Paul Agnew and Les Arts Florissants’ complete cycle of Carlo Gesualdo’s madrigals. A recording produced at the Philharmonie de Paris, in coproduction with France Musique.

" Without a doubt, this recording will be a landmark and can rightfully be considered a model of madrigalesque practice in the 21st century. "

" What sets Les Arts Florissants apart is an assertive presence (…) of vocal individualities and a precise awareness of their interaction with the collective. (…) A long-lasting feast. "
