Work: Telemaco, ossia L'isola di Circe

The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin delivers an exciting concert of early Classical works from Mozart, Haydn, Gluck and Telemann.

With two happy endings, two recognition scenes, and a second act that seems more of a self-contained sequel than a conclusion to the first, Gluck’s Telemaco has come in for a musicological pasting over the years for its alleged weaknesses of dramatic content and construction.
