About This Song

About "Gluck: Orphée et Eurydice, Wq. 41, Act 3 Scene 1: Récitatif, "Viens, viens, Eurydice, suis-moi" (Orphée, Eurydice)" by Barbara Hendricks

A command wrapped in desperate love. Hendricks and her Eurydice trade fragile recitative, the harpsichord's pulse a ticking clock of doom. The tension is unbearable: every syllable reaches backward, a hand extended into darkness, knowing the light will not hold.
