Herzog on Gesualdo, continued
Bernardo Bertolluci has a film project about Carlo Gesualdo in development. Alfred Schnittke wrote an opera about him. Aldous Huxley took mescaline while listening to Gesualdo's madrigals. The eerie passion of his music is spellbinding. Over now to Werner Herzog for the next part of "Death for Five Voices". For those just joining the show, here's Part I. By the way, keep an ear out here for the wonderful description of death caused by "an excess of connubial bliss".
