Ian Page and The Mozarists bring us a new album of Arias by the celebrated composer Christoph Willibald Gluck including works from operas such as Il trionfo di Clelia, Wq. 31, Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq.30 and Il Parnaso confuso, Wq.33. The soloist is the Swedish mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg, with Ian Page once again conducting his award-winning period-instrument ensemble.

"As well as virtuosity, Hallenberg brings something vital to everything in this assortment, be it an insightful dramatic detail, a point of stylistic nous or a sheer sense of presence." - Gramophone Magazine, October 2025
