CD Reviews

A (G)LUCKY SNIPPET!

Melvyn M. Sobel | Freeport (Long Island), New York | 10/16/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gluck. Gluck. Gluck. Good Gluck! You've left us inundated with opera, some ballet, but scarcely anything else. Christoph Willibald! What are we to make of this? GROVE'S says you've composed eighteen small symphonies (most spurious)... and these eight trio sonatas for two violins and basso continuo. (My 1979 SCHWANN lists a flute concerto attributed to you, but I have my doubts!) This Point Classics release, then, is a most welcome addition to the Gluck discography--- most welcome?--- most vital, given the exceptionally intimate playing of this threesome, the pleasingly warm recording and, lest we forget the most urgent issue, the exceeding rarity of these works. (Rare? That's putting it rather mildly!) Delightful and lyrical, sans any academic proclivity, these eight sonatas plumb no great depths but are fruitfully fit diversions for a lazy afternoon or pre-midnight read.

[Running time: 48:12]
