A Choral Journey II: Nachtmusik

Where shall the weary traveller find rest? For centuries, composers and poets have found inspiration in the hours of darkness, a time for dark fears and magical dreams. In this candlelit sequence of music, The Gesualdo Six are joined by Josephine Knight (cello), whose dark, resonant lines deepen the music’s nocturnal character, drawing listeners into a hushed sound world of shadowed harmonies.

‘An impressive boy band of six young singers, each individually endowed with a fantastic voice. Collectively they are simply stunningly good – smooth high notes, striking low notes, sparkling clean intonation and vocal colouring' – SWR Culture
