"The other three Aulide principals are glorious, above all Véronique Gens, whose Iphigénie offers consistently perly tone and heart-rendering expressiveness. Her presentation of the character could hardly be more affecting... Von Otter's musicality and textual eloquence remain a lesson to all aspiring mezzo-sopranos. Seemingly born for Gluck roles is Frédérick Antoun (Achille)... Les Musiciens du Louvre under Minkowski provide flawless tone, a technical mastery unsurpassed anywhere today and maximum dramatic flair." (International Record Review)

"[von Otter] presents a deeply sympathetic character...[Gens's] Iphigenia is equally touching and just as beautifully sung...one or two [production] oddities are far outweighed by the intensity that Pierre Audi secures from his team. Minkowski conducts superbly." (Gramophone)

"in this performance every cross-hatched, baleful figure is crisp and clear...Veronique Gens's submissive, poised Iphigénie [en Aulide] becomes Mireille Delunsch's red-eyed, hysterical Iphigénie en Tauride...Both sopranos sing magnificently..." (BBC Music Magazine)
