This madrigal by Gesualdo forms part of “Death of Gesualdo”, , a new staged production we’re premiering next week. This dramatic retelling of the life and death of Carlo Gesualdo premieres at St Martin-in-the-Fields, then travels to York at the weekend, before heading to New York City next month. #ges
