Gesualdo: Death For Five Voices
Werner Herzog's chilling and atmospheric chronicle of sixteenth century composer Don Carlo Gesualdo (1560-1613), Prince of Venosa, whose life embraced sexual excess, ghastly murder and obsession. Filmed on location in Italy, the program explores both Gesualdo's musical legacy and the extraordinary influence his tormented life has continued to exert on those whose lives crossed his path. Contributors include Gerald Place, director of The Gesualdo Consort, Alan Curtis, music director of the singing ensemble II Complesso Barocco, and Professor Ludica of the Archeological Museum in Venosa. In English.
