Christoph Willibald Gluck
July 2, 1714 - November 15, 1787
born in Erasbach, Germany, composed during the Classical period
born in Erasbach, Germany, composed during the Classical period
A towering figure in eighteenth-century opera, Bohemian-German composer Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787) combined French and Italian opera and instituted reforms in opera performance and staging, and their influence stretched into the nineteenth century. This has not saved his own operas from oblivion, with the popular exception of Orfeo ed Euridice (1762) which remains in the repertoire. Gluck's stormy, sometimes aggressive orchestral textures had a direct impact on the eighteenth-century "sturm und drang" school of symphonists. While his career began -- and remained centered in -- Vienna, Gluck also did extended tours to Paris and London to mount opera productions. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi
