This will be the first recreation of Carlo Gesualdo's notorious music in competing authentic tunings of his time. Aside from Nicola Vicentino's complicated arcicembalo, other written testimonies by Gesualdo's musicians implicate that he composed according to a common lute’s meantone temperament. Audiences may hear that the prince went out of tune to express himself after killing his wife and her lover.
