Conductor and composer James Wood, renowned for his interpretations of both contemporary and fifteenth century repertoire has completed a brilliant new analysis of Gesualdo’s Sacrae Continoes Liber Secundus. The result of 2 years’ work it resulted also in a prize-winning recording with Vocal Consort Berlin on Harmonia Mundi. We’re delighted to be teaming up with Vision Edition to bring you this special edition via CE Books.
“After a long and intense involvement with the music, and digging far deeper than anyone before in order to understand the underlying principles of Gesualdo’s very particular technique, James Wood has employed his own considerable compositional skill and experience to create an utterly convincing reconstruction of all the incomplete works.”
