Their style of singing – perfectly blended vocal harmony, exquisite tuning, inventive phrasing, delicately poised textural clarity - provides a magical accompaniment to the warmth of the Christmas season.

while some ensembles blend through mutual imitation and similarity, The Gesualdo Six manage to preserve the colours of the individual voices while finding common ground. It’s this breadth – of colour, tone, gesture – that gives these performances their appeal.

In terms of gleaming vocal purity, the Gesualdo Six, directed by Owain Park, are hard to beat...The dominant mood is quietude, contemplation.
