I do have a soft spot for medieval to early baroque (particularly when played on original instruments.

Though he isn't widely known today, Jean Baptiste Lully, the court composer of Louis XIV, was hugely influential in the history of music - opening the door to modern opera, ballet, and musical comedy. Lully was a collaborator with my favorite playwright, Jean-Baptiste Molière (France's Shakespeare). They later became bitter rivals for favor at court.

Aside from sharing the same first names and both falling from favor when Louis XIV married his stuffy second wife, they also both died on the job: Molière collapsing just off-stage and dying after finishing playing the role of a hypochondriac; Lully dying after striking himself in the foot with his tall conductor's baton/staff.
