Sixteenth-century Gesualdo and 20th-century Stravinsky? What are they doing together on the same disc? Each composer's "uncompromising modernism" and position at the "forefront of the avant-garde" bring the two into a kind of cross-generational alignment. But the truth is that Stravinsky found something personally appealing both in Gesualdo's staunch individualism and in the unique sound of his music, which owed much to its startling harmonies and unorthodox chromatic effects. Stravinsky championed Gesualdo's music, expressing concern that this "academically unrespectable composer" and his work needed to be saved from musicologists. The Choir of Trinity College offers an amazingly effective musical and historical juxtaposition, allowing us to hear an uncanny connection between two religious works physically separated by 300 years, but seeming to have emerged from a common spiritual source --David Vernier
