Crucial Track for February 15, 2026: "Madrigali libro sesto: Io pur respiro in cosi gran dolore" by La Compagnia del Madrigale

_How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?_
I stumbled on this particular madrigal while doing deeper research into Gesualdo’s compositional methods for a project I’m about to start. And I’ve just fallen in love with it! #crucialtracks #renaissance #madrigal #gesualdo
