Anny Konetzni brings a Wagnerian scale to the title role of Iphigénie en Tauride (sung in German), making a compelling case for a more dramatic approach to Gluck's opera. Even the most staunch purists would be hard-pressed to deny the visceral excitement that Konetzni's performance brings to the piece. Under the baton of Erich Kleiber, the production benefits from a perfect balance of Mozartian elegance and Wagnerian power, providing a solid musical foundation to support the operatic intensity.
