Gluck Arias

£8.00 – £14.00

Ian Page and The Mozarists bring us a new album of Arias by the celebrated composer Christoph Willibald Gluck including works from operas such as Il trionfo di Clelia, Wq. 31, Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq.30 and Il Parnaso confuso, Wq.33. The soloist is the Swedish mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg, with Ian Page once again conducting his award-winning period-instrument ensemble.

“Conductor Ian Page radiates meticulous musical precision, contagious interpretative joy and a serene confidence that inspires and unites the musicians of The Mozartists.” – Sonograma

“Listening does not disappoint at all: the choice of pieces reveals Gluck’s modernity, where formal essentiality and dramatic intensity already anticipate his greatest works.” – GBOPERA

“This skilfully curated exposition of Gluck’s humane genius was a joy to hear.” – Gramophone
