Journeying from the twelfth century (Hildegard of Bingen) to the twenty-first, the voices of The Gesualdo Six weave a meditative reflection around the ancient Office of Compline in a moving sequence of music by fourteen composers. Under director Owain Park, who was recently announced as the next Chief Conductor of the BBC Singers, the G6 have built a reputation as singers of ‘ineffable vocal beauty’ (The Times) and ‘gleaming vocal purity’ (The Guardian). Their third album Fading won Limelight’s Vocal Recording of the Year Award in 2020.
