Great title
R U Shure? Seems Criminal...
I remember Penguin touting Gesualdo, and me falling for it, and then not being able to handel it... can't remember which one
Not much of a thread, anyway.

This is a corker of a Gesualdo disc.

Gesualdo da Venosa : the music, not the life (https://musicakaleidoscope.wordpress.com/2017/03/01/gesualdo-da-venosa-the-music-not-the-life/)

Almost exactly one year ago I wrote a short overview of Carlo Gesualdo on the occasion of his 450th birthday, March 8, 1566. I have to admit that I am not entirely pleased with that short article since it played into the recurring stereotype of Gesualdo as an unhinged murdering count. While it is true that he did have his wife and her lover killed, his was not the only case of this type in Italy during the 16th century. In fact, as the article on Gesualdo in Grove Music Online makes clear, a cuckolded party was by the custom of the time required to act as he did.
I plan to spend the rest of this article on his music and leave the sordid details of the murder alone.

That's where you err'd - that guide is absolutely useless. Some of the worst critical opinions I've ever read.
What is the GMG consensus (if any) on the madrigals? Hilliard, Kassiopeia, La Compagnia?

Herzog's documentary is very well made, I really enjoyed it. And a great recommendation there as well. I would also like to add this disc to the list of fine Gesualdo albums...

Compagnia/Venexiana or Kassiopeia, both are great, although the first is not complete.
"Tenebrae" is not exactly "death", in fact, it isn't. Translation from Latin should be "darkness" or "shadows".
"Tenebrae" is a religious service of Western Christianity held during the three days preceding Easter, and characterized by gradual extinguishing of candles, and by a "strepitus" or "loud noise" taking place in total darkness near the end of the service.
Who would play Carlo Gesualdo= Christian Bale of course who would play Donna Maria=, one cute Italian lady?
The Uncle of Gesualdo would have to be Robert de Niro.
The film would be 3h30 long a big production film in Italy rural area, I.e Ferrara, Venosa.
It would follow Gesualdo from early life to middle life to his death, it's would be a drama since murder is involved in his story and follow mythos of is life.
There were a real film on Mozart, Beethoven than why not Gesualdo he seems like an interesting character for a movie. The movie would be neutral like a chronical of days of his life. I'm sorry to say this but Herzog movie Death for five voices kinda s(word), why not a real movie not some crappy mockumentary.
I'm firmlt convinced Deller's consort pulled out a magnificiant Gesualdo, in term of warm voice, cathartic darkness, but also believe the one done by Hilliard is incredible for it's era.
I like Deller's more but Hilliard not too far away?
This is one of these one zillion dollars question, no one can't answer this, on whom put out a better result or reenndiition of Gesualdo works, I mean Hillard in the past done a wonderful: Pérotin and Gombert (Media vita).While Deller's I know only little of there released total in renaissance, perhaps lesser than Hilliard, so by default Hilliard win, this is a logic that as none, but someone time thing , want out of hands and drastic conclusion like this occur in the end...

To my knowledge, thee boy know a lot, has zillion Gesualdo 's albums, I'm only exaggerating a bit,, I got him in download media's, CD's, LP's media I have them all or almost all... I'm a Gesualdo fanatic, devoted of his music, I don't glorified what criminal he did, but is music reek pure therein of Geniuses at work here in this late 16th century era.
If your a hipster, you heard from your friend into classical Moro Lasso is the peak of oddity of Gesualdo, this is false Gia piansi nel dolore is way more crazy in sense to me, whom agree whit me?

This is my most recent Gesualdo, or quasi-Gesualdo, find.
This also, in a similar spirit to the Klaus Huber, is outstanding

Huber is good in a very serious and deep way. What I think of, rightly or wrongly, as Teutonic seriousness.

I strongly disagree Werner Herzog made a mockumentory this is not acceptable for Gesualdo Fanboys like me, I want a real film whit Christian Bale as Gesualdo,, Harvey Keitel as his Uncle,, Marisa Tomei as Donna Maria, think big 8)
Perhaps I only speculate:
Erato release is very good
graindelavoix is exotic and fabulous
Zig Zag awesome too
In vynil I would recommend, the folowing
The release on Vox Candide label from the sixties***
We are only talking about the responsoria?
There are zillion copy of this works
This must pale in comparison to the proper documentaries, this dude does have himself a bit of fun:
Perhaps this would be a good place to mention John Pickard's darkly atmospheric 23-minute orchestral work of 2008 'Tenebrae' based on the crimes of Gesualdo. The inclusion of bass oboe, contrabass clarinet and contrabassoon gives a truly ominous grinding undertow to the piece. The second and last part is a sort of free passacaglia, partly based on a memorable theme from Gesualdo's 'Tristis est anima mea'. It was recorded by Martin Brabbins and the Norrköping SO on BIS records. Highly recommended.
