Strangely enough, I've just come back from holidaying in Southern italy and I've been discovering Gesualdo's music too. I find it interesting that, although I know very little about medieval music, the madrigals I've heard sound spooky and quite unsettling compared to say, Montiverdi's (which were far more soothing).

I've just been reading the Wiki entry on Gesualdo ... bleedin' eck - he was a bit barmy, wasn't he? Even by the standards of your common-or-garden genius he seemed a few sandwiches short of a picnic.[/quote]

Rock 'n' roll...I like HH because it permits a very wide definition of perameters of said r 'n' r.Gesualdo's oeuvre is hardly P.C.On the other hand Gesualdo acted according to the norms and values of the nobility in southern Italy circa 1600.His music is sublime.
