BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, The Gesualdo Six

Live from Wigmore Hall, Owain Park directs his acclaimed vocal ensemble.

Live from Wigmore Hall, The Gesualdo Six perform a programme of music inspired by the influence of the great Flemish Renaissance master, Josquin des Prez.

Directed by Owain Park, the Gesualdo Six launched in 2014 and has subsequently received much acclaim for its recordings, including 'Josquin's Legacy' (2021). Featuring Renaissance gems influenced by Josquin des Prez, the programme of that award-winning disc forms the basis of this lunchtime recital.
