Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Carlo Gesualdo de Venosa (1566-1613)
Bio
Gesualdo was raised by his uncle, the Archbishop of Naples. He became the Prince of Venosa in 1591 and began composing madrigals and other progressive music forms for the time. He established an estate where musicians came to perform his music. Much of his notoriety is related to his rather grisly personal life.
