Description:

Nigel Short & Tenebrae Sing "Tenebrae" by Couperin and Jesualdo in New Recording! Founded in 2001 by Nigel Short, a former member of the King's Singers, Tenebrae is widely regarded as one of the world's finest vocal ensembles. In 2018, Tenebrae received a Grammy nomination for "Celestial Music (SIGCD 904)," which garnered a great deal of attention. It combines music related to the "Tenebrae" (the Holy Week morning service preceding the Easter celebration), from which the group takes its name, François Couperin's "Luzon de Tenebrae" (Recitation in the Dark) and Carlo Jesuardo's "Tenebrae Responsorium for Holy Thursday" (Response), This is a program that can be said to be unique to Tenebrae. The works of Couperin and Gesualdo, which differ in style and compositional period by about 100 years, but have a mysterious and hypnotic appeal, will be performed by Tenebrae, a world leader in singing with great passion and precision.
