GESUALDO Madrigals: Books I–VI. Canzon francese del Principe. 1 Gagliarda del Principe di Venosa. Come vivi cor mio. All’ombra degli allori • Marco Longhini, cond; Carmen Leoni (hpd, 1 clvd, org); Delitiæ Musicæ • NAXOS 8.507013 (7 CDs: 433:43 Text and Translation) Here, at last, Marco Longhini’s complete set of madrigals by Don Carlo Gesualdo is available in a handsome box which includes a lavish (for Naxos) booklet containing Longhini’s liner notes and, wonder of wonders, full texts and translations for each piece. J. F. Weber reviewed Book I in Fanfare 34:1, Book II in 34:5, Book III in 35:3. Book IV in 36:2, and Books V and VI in 37:2. This boxed set includes the complete set. According to online sources, Books V and VI were issued in the spring of 2013 as a three-CD set (Naxos 8.573147/49), mostly because both books are too long to fit onto one CD each. The first two discs of this set have timings of 74 and 67 minutes respectively, while the third is 41:21.
