Christoph Willibald Gluck 1714-1787
' Gluck was an opera composer who said to his contemporaries: Gentlemen, let us compose our operas more rationally. An opera is not a stage concert, as most of you seem to think. Let us give up our habit of sacrificing our common sense to the variety of our singers, and let us compose our airs, duets, recitatives and sinfonias in such a way that they shall always be appropriate to the dramatic situation given to us by the librettist.' (BERNARD SHAW ) This week's programmes consider the accuracy of Shaw's statement. , Music from Alceste Overture
