Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714–1787) was one of the geniuses who shaped the development of musical art in the second half of the 18th century. His contemporaries believed he revolutionized music. Gluck's reform of the opera genre began with the touching love story Orfeo ed Euridice (1762) and culminated in the formidable and passionate tragedy Iphigenia in Tauris (1779). But the path to reform was long and arduous: in his youth, Gluck served in princely chapels, worked in traveling companies, and wrote music for the Viennese court. His work was admired by emperors and princes, philosophers and poets, socialites, and learned scholars.

This book by Moscow Conservatory professor Larisa Kirillina tells the story of how a forester's son from a remote Bavarian village, steadfastly pursuing his calling, conquered Italy, Austria, and France, and by the end of his life became an idol throughout enlightened Europe.
