Extravagant, bizarre harmonies were everywhere in early 17th-century madrigal-era Italy… Sensitive ears, beware! The chromaticisms and disharmonies show no mercy. Croce e delizia… In other words, love hurts. On his latest album, Rinaldo Alessandrini comes to prove (not that he needed to) that this tormented genre was not the sole prerogative of Gesualdo, but that, on the contrary, it was an entire movement found throughout the Italian peninsula, especially in Naples, a city of heightened emotion, be it sacred or profane. At the head of the fabulous Stravagante Pensiero vocal ensemble, Rinaldo Alessandrini, to our great delight, indulges in the melodramatic tendencies of over a dozen musicians whose styles all seamlessly meld with one another. All of these composers shared a near-identical sense of counterpoint along with a propensity for heartwrenching contrasts and highly dramatic theatricality, evoking the violent chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and his followers. Passion is pushed to the extreme with harmonic friction that manages to penetrate the deepest reaches of our being. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Review: Rinaldo Alessandrini, Concerto Italiano, Gabriele Lombardi - Stravagante pensiero: Gesualdo & Napoli

Extravagant, bizarre harmonies were everywhere in early 17th-century madrigal-era Italy… Sensitive ears, beware! The chromaticisms and disharmonies show no mercy. Croce e delizia… In other words, love hurts. On his latest album, Rinaldo Alessandrini comes to prove (not that he needed to) that this tormented genre was not the sole prerogative of Gesualdo, but that, on the contrary, it was an entire movement found throughout the Italian peninsula, especially in Naples, a city of heightened emotion, be it sacred or profane.

All of these composers shared a near-identical sense of counterpoint along with a propensity for heartwrenching contrasts and highly dramatic theatricality, evoking the violent chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and his followers. Passion is pushed to the extreme with harmonic friction that manages to penetrate the deepest reaches of our being. © François Hudry/Qobuz
