Favourites, Christoph Willibald Gluck

In celebration of the 300th anniversary of Gluck's birth on Tuesday, Katherine rounds up some favourite recordings of his operas on CD and DVD.

Celebrating the 300th anniversary of Gluck’s birth, Daniel Behle presents this album of Gluck’s lesser known opera arias. Showcasing their rich variety of styles, he illustrates that these works are primed for revival.

Daniel Behle is accompanied by one of Europe’s leading Baroque orchestras, Armonia Atenea, conducted by the extraordinary George Petrou.

Making a first Decca appearance on Cecilia Bartoli’s recording of Steffani’s Stabat Mater, Daniel Behle’s highly thought-of tenor voice has been compared with legends such as Richard Tauber and Anton Dermota.

Four world premiere recordings are featured in a programme which includes arias from ten different Gluck operas.

Greece’s Armonia Atenea, conducted by George Petrou, continue to build their reputation as one of Europe’s leading Baroque orchestras.

This album is being released in conjunction with Beethoven’s ‘Creatures of Prometheus’ (also conducted by George Petrou in a searing performance with Armonia Atenea) in June 2014.

‘Throughout, he demonstrates admirable evenness of tone across his range, and the ability to subtly convey the intricacies of religious devotion.’ (The Independent).

This album coincides with the release of ‘Gluck: The Great Operas’ - a set featuring seven full operas, and a special disc of historical recordings and rarities, paying homage to the key role of this composer in the development of opera as an art form.

Reviews

September 2014

Seven Metastasio aria settings showcase the bright playing of Armonia Atenea and Behle's assertive singing...Behle's precise cadenza and virile embellishments are impressive...Behle is not quite so comfortable in galant music that requires sweeter suppleness...but he is outstanding in stormier music.

20th July 2014

Behle reveals himself a nonpareil singer of the tenor roles of this month’s 300th birthday boy, Gluck. His lithe, athletic instrument has a pingy bravura quite unlike that of any other singer of this music I know...his impassioned J’ai perdu mon Eurydice engenders hope that he will tackle Orphée

27th July 2014

His voice is clear, shapely and unfussy, bringing an ideal clarity to Gluck's transparent lines that is well matched by the exciting Greek period ensemble Armonia Atenea.
