“The Gesualdo Six are the real deal. Far from fading, they’re just coming into focus.”

Gramophone

"The group have a remarkable blend, beautifully showcasing the music’s interweaving polyphony under the direction of Owain Park."

The Arts Desk

"The Gesualdo Six and Owain Park are fearless and have shaped a programme that almost plays out as a composed sequence. The singing is impeccable."

Choir and Organ Magazine

"The effect was as mesmerising as the almost inexplicable contrast between the purity, clarity and beauty of the singing on the one hand and its affective ferocity on the other."

Limelight Magazine

“When The Gesualdo Six – a consort of young male singers from Trinity College, Cambridge – stepped on stage and began singing William Byrd’s 'Miserere Mihi Domine', it felt as though time had stopped."
