C.W. Gluck - Orfeo & Euridice

Product Description

Orfeo & Euridice was composed in 1762 by Gluck. In collaboration with the German composer there were two other composers of Italian origin, based in Vienna, equally as busy composing new scores. The very cultured Ranieri de Calzabigi was encouraged to work with Gluck by Count Giacomo Durazzo, general director of all the performances at the Hapsbourg Imperial Court, & the ballet dancer Gasparo Angiolini whose concept was to infuse in the dance the expressive truth. In 1761 with the collaboration of all three, the ballet of Don Juan Ou Le Festin De Pierre was created. The story of Orfeo & Euridice is very linear & develops in just a few scenes. There are only three characters, two lovers & the choir. Inhalt: Orfeo
