About
The Gesualdo Six explore different aspects of light and shade—musical evocations of dawn and dusk, the seasonal and the sacred—by composers from Saint Hildegard, writing in the twelfth century, to Owain Park in the twenty-first. The participation of trumpeter Matilda Lloyd, whether soaring above or blending with the voices, makes this a G6 album like no other.

October 2025
This is an ingenious and moving collection of pieces framed as the interplay between light and dark, and moving across the spectrum of such experiences...The harmonic languages of these pieces moving between agonised dissonance and quiescent but unresolved repose, require the highest musical standards and sense of tuning to pull off. The Gesualdo Six do not let us down.
October 2025
Under Owain Park's leadership and sonorous solitary bass voice (with the bonus of a stunning low A in Eleanor Daley's Grandmother moon), the blend of voices is perfectly balanced and captured.
28th July 2025
Given the jumping between centuries, the mix of music old and new works very well, eased on its way by the unchanging artistry of the Six themselves: two countertenors, two tenors, one baritone and one bass, who sing with such commitment, polish and verve.
