Gluck Opera Gala is a 2-Disc compilation of highlights from seven
previously released albums on the ORFEO label.

It  contains  excerpts  from  Gluck’s  semi  seria  opera  Alceste  
(Disc  1,  tracks  1–7);  his  reformist  operas  Iphigénie  en  Tauride  
(Disc 1, tracks 8–14), Orfeo ed Euridice (Disc 2, tracks 1–9) and

de  la  Mecque  (Disc  2,  tracks  17–23).  All  of  the  recordings  are  
star-studded, featuring performances by legendary artists such as
