Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-87) - Trio Sonata No. 1 for 2 Violins and Continuo in C-Major, II. Presto. Performed by Reinhard Goebel/Musica Antiqua Köln on period instruments.

Gluck (1724–1787), who reformed the genre of opera by creating modern dramatic musical theatre, is presented in a staged, official setting at the harpsichord. Nevertheless, this is probably the most convincing portrait of a musician ever painted. The composer – with his pockmarked face turned upwards – has paused in a moment of inspiration. Here mental and emotional content including enthusiasm have been organically integrated in a formal portrait.
