Il pomo d’oro, the much-praised ensemble dedicated to historically informed interpretations, is once again performing at Gulbenkian Music, but with a novelty: now joining a choir, this is the first project of its new formation, responsible for this concert in which the fascinating first book of Carlo Gesualdo’s Sacrae Cantiones will be performed. Directed by Giuseppe Maletto, Il pomo d’oro delves into the mysterious beauty of the music that the Italian Renaissance composer – famous for his madrigals – dedicated to his personal reading of liturgical texts.
