Many of his most important works were written during this period, among them the Capricci and the Second Book of Toccatas, which, in addition to toccatas, included other pieces, such as Canzonas, Gagliardas and other dances, and Magnificats. One of these pieces was a beautiful Passagiato 'Ancidetimi Pur', based on Ancidetemi pur grievi martiri by the Franco-Flemish composer Jacob Arcadelt. Here it is, performed on a harpsichord by Richard Lester. And here is a Toccata from the same Book II, Toccata Nona. This one is played by the harpsichordist Keith Hill.

Director Luedcke (below) takes everything at a consistently smooth and stately pace, often rather too slowly to get at the textual and spiritual meanings. Only the Gesualdo Tenebrae motet conveyed any propulsive power. Pieces by Byrd and Gabrieli should have surged in excitement, but did not.
