Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice

Derek Lee Ragin (Orfeo), Sylvia McNair (Euridice), Cyndia Sieden (Amor)

English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice
Gardiner's original-version Orfeo is unequalled in dramatic conviction, sweep and command. Leading roles have been bettered elsewhere; but overall this is one of the great Gluck recordings.

5 out of 5 stars

September 1997

Gardiner's account of the Vienna Orfeo ed Euridice is peerless...In detail after detail...and in sustainment of a delicately tenebrous, uniquely Gluckian atmosphere throughout, Gardiner's command of an opera championed since his first London concert performance, 21 years ago, is revealed as simply larger and fuller than almost anyone else's.
