Subscription Concert 1
When Ensemble Gombert performed the complete Responsoria of Gesualdo in a single concert in 1998 it
was recognized as a tour de force, but perhaps too much of a good thing for singers and listeners alike. In 2006 we commenced a performance of the three sets of nine Responsories over three years, each set in company with Lassus’s three Lamentation settings for the same day, ending each program with a setting of Miserere. This year’s program thus constitutes a Good Friday Tenebrae, the series to be completed in 2008 with Holy Saturday Tenebrae.
