Director Owain Park summarizes this program as “a sequence for the souls of the departed, to be heard by those who remember them.” So, this album by The Gesualdo Six is meant to function like something of a Requiem Mass, but without the liturgical specificity. There are sad but hopeful pieces by composers both early (Cristóbal de Morales, Henry Purcell) and contemporary (Donna McKevitt, Douglas Guest), all of them bathed in the glowing sound we’ve come to expect from this all-male ensemble.
