To mark the 450th anniversary of Carlo Gesualdo's birth, Petroc travels to Naples to explore one of the most notorious composers in history, whose music still sounds radical to audiences today. He speaks to Gesualdo expert Dinko Fabris and Cesare Corsi, the librarian of the Conservatorio di Musica 'San Pietro a Majella', which holds the largest collection of Gesualdo prints in Europe. Petroc also talks to Peter Phillips, the director of the Tallis Scholars, and soprano Clare Norburn, who has written a new play about Gesualdo.
