The album Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice, interpreted by Philippe Jaroussky, offers an authentic yet vividly modern take on one of the most essential works in the operatic repertoire. With his countertenor, Jaroussky portrays Orfeo with exceptional emotional depth, natural musicality, and unobtrusive virtuosity that intensifies the drama of the story.
This two‑disc set presents the complete Italian version of the opera with an emphasis on text clarity, balanced orchestral dynamics, and meticulous phrasing. The recording stands out for its precise arrangements and sound you can relish both on a quality hi‑fi system and during relaxed listening at home.
The tracklist includes, among others, the Sinfonia: Allegro con moto, dramatic scenes with choruses, dances of furies and shades, tender Elysian passages, and the famous aria Che farò senza Euridice.
