- Nota:
- The rear cover contains praise by Craft’s good friend Igor Stravinsky ("A collection of marvels."), Ernst Krenek ("If Gesualdo had been taken as seriously in his own time as he is now, music history would have taken an entirely different course. A forgotten giant."), Nadia Boulanger ("A recording shining of intelligence and real understanding.") and Luigi Dallapiccola ("Thank you for giving me for the first time in my life the opportunity of hearing the true color of Gesualdo. I congratulate you with all my heart for having realized a task that is always at the limit of the impossible.")
This record features Sol Babitz, pioneer of the chin-off playing technique on Baroque violin.
Contains an insert with essays ('A Journey with Gesualdo', 'Notes on the Music', and 'Performance Notes') and translations of the texts by Aldous Huxley. - Permalink:
