Composer of the Week: Christoph Willibald Gluck

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

(1714-87)
Gluck saw himself as opera's great reformer - ridding it of stylised conventions, and replacing them with a new sense of drama. In this week's programmes Gwen Hughes looks at the various stages of his operatic revolution, beginning with early days in Vienna: Italian celebrations for the court and a French opera set in Turkey.
