Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice
To bring his beloved Eurydice back to life, Orpheus moved even the underworld gods with his singing. Cecilia Bartoli embodies Orpheus in Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, revised in 1769. The title role was transposed to brilliant heights, a feast for Bartoli and soprano Mélissa Petit as Eurydice and Amor.
