About This Song
About "Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq. 30: Dance of the Furies" by Shirley Verrett
Gluck's Furies erupt in jagged, stamping rhythms—a hellscape of strings and chorus. Verrett's Orfeo stands at the threshold, and the dance is pure menace: relentless, percussive, and oddly hypnotic. The tension between order and chaos is palpable, a calm center in a storm of vengeance.
