Program koncertu
Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa – Book 6, Madrigals, Op. 14 (selection)
Duration:
65 min
We invite you to a special evening dedicated to the music of one of the most fascinating composers of the Renaissance – Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa. In his music, we hear dramatic contrasts, bold harmonic progressions and emotions that go beyond the frameworks of his era.
The concert will offer an opportunity to explore selected pieces from the Sixth Book of Madrigals, which represent the essence of his innovative style. These works are filled with chromaticism, unusual harmonic transitions and profound emotional expression, making them masterpieces of late Renaissance vocal music.
Gesualdo, not only as a composer but also as a historical figure, remains a symbol of extreme emotions – from love and suffering to the drama of despair and death. His madrigals are full of oxymorons, intense experiences and exceptional depth, with each one serving as a personal artistic expression from a creator with a tumultuous life.
Join us for this unforgettable concert, during which we will immerse ourselves in the world of late Renaissance music with its remarkable emotional impact.
