Following the success of 1999's thrilling Armide, Marc Minkowski and his excellent cast fully convey the power and drama of Gluck's masterpiece. They pull you into the story (based on a play by Euripides) through the emotional truth of their interpretation. The opening quiet strings create an air of mystery dispelled by a ferocious storm magnificently conveyed by these early-music specialists. Within a few phrases of Iphigénie's opening lament, Delunsch creates a believable, sympathetic character. Keenlyside as Oreste and Beuron as his sidekick, Pylade, pack a ton of emotion into their singing, too. Minkowski takes chances, going for the emotional jugular in ways that some may find excessive. But the stakes involved for these characters are of the life-and-death variety, and this recording gets that across as no other does. A more contained version by Martin Pearlman's Boston Baroque on Telarc, boasting another outstanding Iphigénie in Christine Goerke, will appeal to those who find Minkowski overly forceful. I'd hate to be without either. --Dan DavisCustomer Reviews:
Heartbreakingly beautiful and powerful.......2006-09-18
Christoph Willibald Ritter von Gluck couldn't write counterpoint if his life depended upon it. Yes, Handel was right about that. Herr Gluck's orchestrations are imaginative and colourful, but he was hardly an idiomatic writer of music for the instruments he chose. One could easily imagine him banging out tunes on his harpsichord over a few glasses of wine with his wife, Marianne, after dinner.
Yet Gluck is a great composer.
Why?
Well, he wrote stuff like this. That's why. Why is Iphigénie en Tauride a masterpiece (I am sure it is)? Well, I think it is because of Gluck's sense of theatre and pace, word painting, harmony and melody. Gluck's music is simple and heartfelt music writ large and beautifully and effectively writ large. Gluck knew what he was doing even when he was simply covering up his weaknesses.
This recording of Iphigénie en Tauride is, in a simple word, perfect. I bought this recording and I am profoundly satisfied with it. I will buy other recordings and DVDs of this work, but I am confident that none will ever surpass this this recording.
Listen to "Ô malheureuse Iphigénie!" sung with incredible feeling and style by Mireille Delunsch and I am sure you will be sold. In this aria, constructed very simply, with off-the-beat strings and plaintive oboe solo, one can hear Iphigénie's misery upon learning of her family's death - she gets closer and closer to a nervous breakdown as the aria progresses.
Gluck wasn't a technically great composer, but he understood human psychology and how to make it manifest in his music.
Buy all of Minkowski's Gluck Paris operas, please.
the ultimate recording.......2001-05-14

Funky italian pop songs done with style.......2005-07-02
Surprisingly enough, eventhough i don't understand a word of italian, i absolutely still love her powerful sunny voice end enjoy the energy and passion that she has and conveys singing all these songs. A true artist always evolves.
This album is a great collection of some of her greatest hits from her italian language cds. If you haven't bought those albums yet, then this is your next best bet.
She truly has an amazing voice, she can be loud and clear and VERY funky (like her song "Dimmi Comme" or "Una Donna Sola" which bring to mind fun 70's Funk songs), she can get a bit RnB like her "Egoista" song or she can whip up a wonderful piano power-ballad like "Per dire di no" (which she sang at the San Remo music festival and rightfully got the first prize) or "Come tu mi vuoi" with a nice pop/gospel like sound in parts. She truly has a varied range of sounds and songs. Don't expect rocket science here, just pure well sung and executed pop music sung in Italian with a funky edge at times.
World pop music doesn't get better than this. Let the emotion and energy and good vibes of the songs carry you away even if you don't speak or understand the language (plus the extra 3 english language songs are nice additions).
It's refreshing to hear a great voice from an unpretentious singer in world pop music, at a time that we are bombarded with snobby mindless pop divas that can hardly sing yet due to promotion and controversial dance routines they get all the attention. I hope we get to hear more from Alexia, and i hope she keeps up her hard work and keeps giving us great songs both in english and in her native italian.
It would be nice if the people from amazon put some audio samples here so that people could sample a bit of what the songs sound like (at this moment of my review they had no samples yet).
