Andrew talks to Simon Heighes about a box set of operas by Gluck from Decca. In his anniversary year, Gluck is being reassessed and we are finding out that he was more than just the instigator of operatic reforms and the composer of Orfeo ed Euridice and the 2 Iphegenia operas. His career was in fact multi-faceted and, coming between Handel and Mozart, his style is a tantalising mix of late Baroque and early Classical.
