This CD is great for anybody who is a baroque fan, and it is excellent for any students studying the baroque period for A Level or GCSE. Some pieces have been shortenened such as 'Dance of the Blessed Spirits' but overall it is fantastic to listen to, and suitable for any music lover.

Smooth Classics

Search: Gluck: Orfeo - Dance of the Blessed Spirits
from: Classic FM

October 19, 2002
Every year at this time Classic FM bring out a new triple CD set - and this year's is even better than the ones that have come before. I didn't think they'd be able to better "Time to Relax", which was last year's album - but they have! And they've done it in some style too by choosing music from their evening programme "Smooth Classics at Seven", which is presented by the legendary John Brunning. I can't recommend this album enough. And it does just what it says on the box. I've got my copy in the car at the moment - it's perfect as an antidote to a journey from Hull to Manchester on the M62 every morning. I'm seriously considering ordering two more copies - one for the office and one for home - the music choice really is that good. This is ... Read More:

The Romance of the Violin

Search: Gluck: Orfeo - Dance of the Blessed Spirits
from: Columbia

November 08, 2004
I adore the violin with its singing and sonorous tones. There is much on this CD that I admire but unfortunately most of it is spoilt by the addition of the anodyne and bland sound of the accompanying harp! Why on earth Joshua Bell chose this is beyond me - OK it's a very personal thing but I think the harp sound completely ruins most of the tracks here.
