The infallible Gesualdo Six trademarks of consummate musicianship and scholarly integrity are much in evidence here. 'Queen of Hearts' addresses and reflects on queens spiritual (the Virgin Mary) and temporal (Mary Tudor and Anne Boleyn, among others) in a programme of music largely of the sixteenth century, but spiced with two short works from the twenty-first.
