Herreweghe records his third disc devoted to a controversial figure in the world of music [...]: Carlo Gesualdo, who had his wife murdered and is suspected of having his son smothered. Collegium Vocale Gent performs his fifth book of madrigals, published two years before his death. A collection that even today contributes to the eternal debate: to what extent does art become impregnated with reality, and how can it be appreciated when it emanates from a mind living so close to horror?
