November 2025
Hallenberg centres her selection around works Gluck composed for the great castrato Giovanni Manzuoli, beginning with 'Resta o cara' from Il trionfo di Clelia...Hallenberg manages the vocal fireworks of this splendidly assertive music with aplomb, finishing with an impressive cadenza.
October 2025
As well as virtuosity, Hallenberg brings something vital to everything in this assortment, be it an insightful dramatic detail, a point of stylistic nous or a sheer sense of presence.
15th October 2025
Here is an excellent album for demonstrating the much wider range of jewels Gluck can offer...Hallenberg’s vocal dexterity brings great pleasure, as does Gluck’s considerable skill in directly expressing in music the characters’ emotional crises.
