This has led to their presenting very varied and unusual programmes embracing, for example, both Monteverdi and Verdi and extending to include mediaeval song and a wide range of 20th century music. At the same time they have maintained a special interest in the music of Gesualdo and his contemporaries.
Their debut recording, now re-released by ASV was a Gramophone Critic's Choice selection, and the musicologist Glen Watkins described the recording as "a miracle: easily the best Gesualdo performance to date." More recently they collaborated with German director Werner Herzog on his film biography of Gesualdo "Death for Five Voices".
