Death for Five Voices (1995)
Herzog's fascinating film about the incredible life of the renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo serves as an irresistible prelude for tonight's concert.
"Most of the stories in the film are completely invented and staged, yet they contain the most profound possible truths about Gesualdo. I think of all my 'documentaries', Death for Five Voices is the one that really runs amok, and it is one of the films closest to my heart."
