About "Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq. 30: Gli sguardi trattieni" by Shirley Verrett

Gli sguardi trattieni—hold back your glances. Verrett turns Gluck's warning into a velvet trap, the melody a hand hovering above a forbidden switch. Desire and restraint waltz in the same breath, and the tension is so sweet it aches.
