The Gesualdo Six Owain Park - Queen of Hearts: Laments and Songs of Regret for Queens Terrestrial and Celestial [CD]

The infallible Gesualdo Six trademarks of consummate musicianship and scholarly integrity are much in evidence here.

'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

"sung with […] heart-stopping beauty." – BBC Radio 3, Record Review (Andrew McGregor)

FULL FEATURE INTERVIEW, PRESTO MUSIC - "Guy James on Queen of Hearts"

"Throughout, The Gesualdo Six offer up introspective and expressive reading – literally deep in the case of Brumel's prayerful Sub tuum praesidium scored for sonorous low voices, and the same composer's De tout plongiet / Fors seulement whose bass line fathoms the abyss." – BBC Music Magazine (4 stars)
