GESUALDO - biggest hardass in music. Murdered his wife and her lover, wrote music centuries ahead of its time, spent the last 16 years of his life secluded in his castle employing a team to physically torture him. WTF

That Herzog movie on Gesualdo is a MUST SEE! Blurs the line between image and reality as only Herzog can do (when he is not hypnotizing chickens.)
