The Gesualdo Six / Owain Park - Fading

The Gesualdo Six / Owain Park — Fading 180-gram LP

"Ingeniously programmed and impeccably delivered, with that undefinable excitement that comes from a group of musicians working absolutely as one, The Gesualdo Six's Fading is startlingly, urgently excellent." — Gramophone: Editor's Choice (April 2020)

Since the fourth century, the service of Compline has marked the end of the day, ushering in the darkness of the night. Much of the music here is inspired by this ancient service. The first half of the album features a selection of atmospheric works that relate to the transition between light and darkness. Then there is a turning point; the light returns, birds sing, and flowers bloom once more.
