Christmas 2021
From the outset, performing with one voice to a part, the malevoice ensemble The Gesualdo Six brings the intimacy and detail of consort music to these accounts...Throughout the programme, the singing is beautifully controlled (bar a slight quivering instability in the lower voices at a couple of points), and the ensemble is finely balanced.
Jan/Feb 2022
I would characterize the group primarily for its subtlety of interpretation. Nothing is overstated; the music just unfolds, letting the listener grasp the points made in the notes by careful attention to every detail. This CD is an homage to Josquin that has been thought through exquisitely, and it is highly recommended.
November 2021
Theirs is a very English sound, eschewing overtly dramatic interpretative touches, but the sensitivity to contrapuntal details is none the less striking.

[an] impeccably performed recital. It’s hard to think it could be better sung.
