Midweek Masterworks: Notes on a Scandal

A musical exploration of passion—and the madness, jealousy, and ecstasy it can inspire. From Gesualdo’s murderous heart, to Debussy’s sordid affair, to Franck’s torrid infatuation, “Notes on a Scandal” exposes the dangerous (but melodious!) consequences of love gone wrong.
