For this new recording, Jordi Savall and his Concert des Nations focus on two ballets by German composer Christoph Willibald Gluck, a trailblazer in the world of opera and ballet music. He penned almost a dozen scores, though some of these have unfortunately been lost.
Don Juan or The Feast of the Stone is a three-act ballet-pantomime composed in Vienna in 1761. With its innovative instrumentation and dramatic power, this work is particularly striking. In fact, the young Beethoven would later utilise it for his great ballet, based on the mythological Prometheus. With musical content that hinted at the reform that Gluck would later introduce to his operas, the score of Don Juan (which was written twenty-six years before those of Gazzaniga and Mozart) deviates from the kind of ballet that was popular at the time, introducing the famous “Sturm und Drang” (“Storm and Passion”) that would go on to take the world of music by storm.
Four years later in the very same city of Vienna, Gluck presented a new ballet: Semiramis. This piece took the reform that had been introduced in Don Juan and totally enhanced it. The close link with Voltaire’s tragedy meant that the dance wasn’t given a purely aesthetic role. Thus, the dancers were given the ability to explore completely new forms of physical expression. © François Hudry/Qobuz
