Mélodie from Orphée et Eurydice                  Christoph Gluck, arr. Kreisler

An otherworldly melody originating in Gluck’s celebrated opera, Orphée et Eurydice, composed in 1762 and later arranged for violin and piano by the great Viennese violinist and composer, Fritz Kreisler.  The work depicts Orpheus pleading with Hades to return his love, Eurydice, who was recently killed by a snake as she strolled through a field.       Notes by David Lisker
