"Carlo Gesualdo is being well served by the CD industry in this, the 400th anniversary year of his death. It is doubtful, however, that his music is ever going to be as beautifully sung or as lusciously presented as it is here by Nigel Short's outstanding Tenebrae ... I would be very, very surprised. If perfection is attainable (which I doubt), we get very close to it here ... While these singers revel in the elegance and logic of Victoria, they positively glow in the dramatic and arresting idioms of Gesualdo".
