Ricky Ian Gordon - Orpheus Euridice A Song Cycle in Two Acts
Review by Leandro Araújo
Orpheus Euridice A Song Cycle in Two Acts is a captivating album by Ricky Ian Gordon that tells the story of Orpheus and Euridice through a series of songs. The album is a beautiful fusion of classical and contemporary music, with Gordon's stunning compositions and the incredible vocals of the performers.
The first act of the album takes the listener on a journey through the love story of Orpheus and Euridice, with songs that are filled with passion and emotion. The second act is a haunting and heart-wrenching portrayal of Orpheus' descent into the underworld to retrieve his beloved Euridice.
The album features a talented cast of performers, including soprano Elizabeth Futral, tenor Jesse Blumberg, and baritone Stephen Powell, who all deliver powerful and moving performances. The album also features the stunning accompaniment of pianist and composer Ricky Ian Gordon, who brings his unique musical style to the performance.
