4: Orfeo ed Euridice
Che faro senza Euridice is a beautiful lament for the tragic loss of a beloved wife. It was written by Gluck for a castrato, famously performed by Kathleen Ferrier in the postwar era and is now sung by mezzo-sopranos or countertenors. Dame Janet Baker ,
James Bowman and Michael Chance follow Orfeo's journey through hell to arrive at this sublime musical moment.
