Composer of the Week: Gluck

on BBC Radio 3

4: The Paris Years
Gluck hoped his theatrical genius would be properly appreciated in Paris. His first opera for Paris was based on the classical myth Iphigenie en Aulide and was the first of his operas to find its way back into the standard operatic repertoire in modern times. Donald Macleod introduces excerpts performed by a range of interpreters, including Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau , Christa Ludwig , Karl Bohm , Otto Klemperer , Anne-Sophie von Otter and John Eliot Gardiner.
