Gluck: Iphigénie en Aulide

Since the Baroque revival of the late 1980s, Iphigénie en Aulide is Gluck's only French opera to have remained unrecorded on period instruments. To celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2024, Julien Chauvin, Le Concert de la Loge, Les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles and a top-flight cast led by Judith Van Wanroij, Stéphanie d'Oustrac, Cyrille Dubois, Tassis Christoyannis, Jean-Sébastien Bou and David Witczak have filled that gap with a new recording of the work which revolutionised the aesthetics of French opera. It is underpinned by in-depth musicological and stylistic research carried out by the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles in collaboration with Julien Chauvin, in this, his first operatic recording.
