Shortly afterwards the controversy stirred in French journals resonated well beyond the capital to other countries. The daily cultural discourse of Paris concerned Gluck's 'musical revolution' a catch-phrase taken up by Gluck's opponents such as Jean-François Marmontel as well as by his defenders; in 1781 the 'revolution worked in music by M. le Chevalier Gluck' later dubbed the 'German Orpheus' was used as the title of a collection of pamphlets for and against Gluck with a heavy editorial bias in favour Lesure c1984. Although operas by Piccinni Salieri and especially Sacchini as well as French contemporaries such as Grétry continued alongside Gluck in the French repertoire beyond the Revolution and Empire revivals of Gluck constituted the principal touchstone of dramatic music into the 1820s when the last routine revivals were acclaimed by Berlioz. Opera composers including Salieri Lemoyne and Vogel in Paris were presented or presented themselves as his legitimate successors; elsewhere Mozart especially in Idomeneo and J.M. Kraus were strongly affected by Gluck's example in constructing scenes applying a dramatically motivated admixture of lyricism and more direct and declamatory vocal expression and sometimes in modelling as when the statue in Don Giovanni adopts the tone of the oracle in Alceste. After his death his direct effect can still be heard in Die Zauberflöte and in several French operas including those of Méhul Cherubini and Spontini.<br /> <br /> Among the Romantics he continued to inspire respect and from Berlioz and Wagner emulation. Berlioz supervised productions of Orphée and Alceste in Paris 1859 and 1866. In Orphée Berlioz created the basis for the version most used over the next century at least by restoring the Italian key-scheme in several scenes to accomodate the tessitura of the title role to a female singer; Pauline Viardot was the first in a line to include Giulia Ravoli Kathleen Ferrier Janet Baker and others although the French version with tenor retained some currency. Musicians close to Berlioz began to realize his ideal of a complete critical edition although only a handful of 'reform' operas were published. Wagner wrote about Gluck in Oper und Drama having learned much from deep study of Iphigénie en Aulide of which he made a modernized performing version Dresden 1847. In 1890 for Weimar Richard Strauss similarly adapted Iphigénie en Tauride. Such orchestrational revision and the melding of recitative and aria to blur Gluck's structure of closed forms represented a style of musical archaeology from which Handel and Mozart also suffered or in terms of public exposure benefited. The later 20th century witnessed not only numerous revivals of the reform operas some in musically authentic form and including the Vienna Orfeo but also a less one-sided critical view of Gluck became possible with the publication of a new critical edition and a revival of interest in works in other genres especially opéra comique and with Don Juan ballet. Winton Dean has observed that Gluck's compromise between the demands of words and music 'was one of the most satisfying and successful of all and has placed his greatest works beyond the reach of time' Grove6. None of Gluck's operas except Orfeo/Orphée is likely to become a staple work in the repertory; however to the extent that every production has the aspect of a revival continued interest in his achievement and consequently revival of an increasing proportion of his output is guaranteed so long as opera continues to occupy a central place in Western musical culture."

It was in his depiction of Gluck that Houdon first showed the ravages of smallpox on a subject - it was a common affliction in eighteenth-century France but artists were expected to flatter their subjects in this respect at least." Bonhams catalogue<br /> <br /> "Gluck was an artist a great musician and therefore must be given the attributes of a genius. His face was deeply pockmarked and the sculptor used this fact to establish his theme. He clothed him in a heavy coat whose texture is an overall pattern of slashed grooves free and direct in their expressive impact. Here there was no attempt to stimulate the appearance of the actual material but rather in a manner almost Rodinesque to bring out the quality of the clay. The open shirt the unbuttoned vest the short disheveled hair and the alert titled pose of the head all emphasize the impact of genius." Arnason: The Sculptures of Houdon p. 34. unknown

200629188<p>New York:: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2006. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. Averno is a small crater lake in southern Italy regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. In a landscape turned irretrievably to winter Averno is a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time resisting their reconciliation. Averno is an extended lamentation its long restless poems no less spellbinding for being without conventional resoltution or consolation no less ravishing for being savage grief-stricken. What Averno provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure but a diagram of where we are the harrowing enduring present.</p> Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, hardcover
199929440<p>New York:: Ecco Press 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight hardcover copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. In this collection Nobel laureate Louise Glück explores themes of love loss and rebirth through the lens of a difficult divorce and the subsequent "new life" that emerges from it blending personal experience with mythic and classical allusions and juxtaposing childhood memories with adult realities of death and hope. The collection is known for its stark luminous and often brutal honesty combining the ecstatic and the worldly to capture the paradox of finding hope in moments of despair much like Dante's Vita Nova but with a modern personal focus.</p> Ecco Press, hardcover
