Gluck Opera Highlights – Orfeo Ed Euridice (Abridged) & Alceste (Selections)

More Info

(Orfeo) Stiedry’s approach ….now seems to accord with modern ideas of how to treat Gluck, not marmoreally as was then the general custom but as live drama. In consequence Ferrier’s “Che farò?” here sounds to today’s ears much more plausible than the famous, more leisurely (later version).”

-Gramophone

“darkly intense reading… Ferrier emerges in full expressiveness…

-Penguin Guide

(Alceste) “speaks up powerfully for the Italian version…. with a good deal of fire and spirit….But of course the real point of this recording is the assumption of the title-role by Kirsten Flagstad….It is a monumental performance in its way, with some spells of wonderfully free-flowing, open tone, and a passionate involvement …There are grand, noble things, of course, which any lover of her singing will want to hear, and it is a performance such as only a great singer could produce”

-Gramophone
