About This Song
About "Gluck: Orphée et Eurydice, Wq. 41, Act 3: Air. "J'ai perdu mon Eurydice" (Orphée)" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Gluck's bereft Orpheus pleads with the void, von Otter's tone hollowed out by loss. The famous air becomes a slow-motion collapse, strings sighing beneath a voice that has forgotten how to console itself. Grief made melodic, almost unbearable in its clarity.
