Description:
To commemorate the 300th anniversary of Gluck’s birth, the world’s first recording of *The Mercy of Emperor Titus* is being released. *The Mercy of Emperor Titus*, premiered in Naples in 1752, is one of Gluck’s relatively early opera seria works and is based on the same libretto by Pietro Metastasio as Mozart’s opera of the same name. Because the libretto was so popular at the time, as many as 40 composers set it to music (Gluck’s opera was composed 39 years before Mozart’s). It is a masterpiece that can be described as a model “opera seria,” brimming with energy and drama; it is particularly interesting for Gluck fans to hear the early seeds of the elements that would characterize the “opera reform” Gluck would later achieve in works such as *Orfeo ed Euridice*. Unlike Mozart’s works, this opera dates from a time when many castrati were still active; consequently, countertenors are cast here in the roles of Annio and Publio. Featuring a stellar cast of singers led by Rainer Trost in the title role, this live recording captures the 2013 revival performance conducted by German conductor Werner Ehrhardt (born in 1957), a former member of Concerto Köln, Werner Ehrhardt—a former member of Concerto Köln—and the period-instrument orchestra “L’Arte del Mondo,” which he founded in 2004. “Erhard, an expert in Baroque music, passionately and skillfully guided the orchestra and singers to faithfully reproduce what was written in the score, making the four-hour performance fly by. ‘Music fans who were unable to attend this concert were truly unlucky,’ was the praise heaped upon this performance, which delivers a performance of such depth and richness that it is truly worthy of the world premiere recording of this little-known masterpiece.
