Christoph Willibald Gluck, great Austrian classical composer of famous operas and instrumental music, was born on 2nd of July 1714. Of his instrumental music pieces possibly the best known and most beautiful is this incredible ballet music flute solo - ''Dance of the Blessed Souls'' - from very popular opera ''Orfeo ed Euridice''. Here is wonderful interpretation of great Sir James Galway. Enjoy.
