A Gluck Retrospective – Alison Tynan, Sophie Bevan, Anna Stéphany, Classical Opera Company, Ian Page
‘A remarkable evening of arias sung with passion, urgency and drama’, writes Gramophone in its September 2010 edition. It finishes by saying that ‘This is a terrific unmissable disc’. Gluck was one of the foremost eighteenth-century opera composers. His innovative music brought new colours to the orchestra – along with a wealth of memorable tunes. This highly varied selection of arias from his operas makes for an ideal introduction to the composer, as well as forming a highly contrasting and often thrilling recital CD, performed by some of the finest artists on the circuit today. A must for all opera fans!
This exemplary disc offers a program that is long overdue and much needed I came away from this album with genuine enthusiasm and excitement The recorded sound of the live concert is excellently balanced in the appropriately intimate performance hall James A Altena – Fanfare – March/April 2011
