When compiling a complementary suite from Gluck’s opera based on the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, he also took an imaginative rather than academic approach, mixing music from both the original Vienna and the later Paris versions of the score in order to include all of its most affecting episodes such as the grand Overture and the quiet rapture of the Dance of the Blessed Spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Charles Mackerras","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54671921807644,"sku":"4829364","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0513\/4108\/files\/B2-0184__Gluck_Rameau-OrchestralSuites__01.png?v=1793853977","url":"https:\/\/shop.umusic.com.au\/products\/gluck-rameau-orchestral-suites","provider":"uMusic Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
