Christoph Willibald Gluck: Iphigénie en Aulide

"The recording promises to set new standards not only musically but also stylistically.”

“This new recording of “Iphigénie en Aulide” under Julien Chauvin is a successful contribution to the reception of Gluck. In particular, the dense dramatic design and the deliberate avoidance of exaggerated vocal acrobatics allow Gluck's reformist ideas to shine in a new light.”

“The time of Aulis has come - and fittingly, there is now also a top-class new recording with the dramatically tense Julien Chauvin and his splendid sounding Le Concert de la Loge and Les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles.”

“The full-sounding choirs and differentiated rhythmic dances complement these voices to create a colorful tragédie-opéra panorama.”

“A milestone, a fantastic production with great cantabile beauty!”

“Julien Chauvin and his musicians show how astonishingly sensual and entertaining Iphigenia can be.”

“A great line-up of singers, weightless and without pointing fingers - finally a reform Glock that is really fun.”
