Originally posted by Bosse de NageGesualdo indeed was a fascinating character and more than a passable composer. He was the Benvenuto Cellini of music.
One of these fascinating murderous Renaissance types.
The music, I am finding, repays listening. It seems the man was ahead of his time.
The film on Gesualdo by Werner Herzog is worth watching.
