ORFEO& EURIDICE was a remarkable, influential, and revolutionary opera in multiple ways, demonstrative of many of the things that made Christoph Willibald Gluck a great composer. Eschewing the Baroque propensity toward over-ornamentation and stiff formality at the expense of dramatic flow. He wanted greatly to allow the poetry to shine through in the music, not be drowned out by superfluous pomp. Also manifesting a French influence, which Gluck wanted to meld with Italian opera, the work breaks down the traditional barriers between recitative and aria. Nonetheless, ORFEO& EURIDICE unfolds on a grand scale, employing choruses of shades and furies that contrast with Orfeo's earthly search for Euridice. The opera that largely heralded the end of the Baroque era is still widely performed, often as a ballet, and is often depicted on a much grander, more elaborate scale, as seen in this lavish interpretation.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

The Parsons Dance Company, led by modern dance guru-choreographer David Parsons, has been at the forefront of the art form since its formation in 1987. This two-hour performance, filmed in 1992, showcases the dance troupe in top form, dancing against the classical music of composers Mozart, Rossini, Fripp, and more. Seven of Parson's extremely large catalog of works are featured, all of which illustrate a intelligent wit and a hidden complexity behind a gorgeous looseness.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English
