“...However, a fairy cast a magic spell in a Gluck concert last Sunday: the Bach Choir and the Bach Collegium, playing on historical instruments, bewitched the audience with a taut “Iphigenie in Taurus” performed in the spirit of barock sound."
Robert Braunmüller - az, 19 February 2008
“... The mighty Christine Iven, in the title role, towered over the soloists with a soprano voice that effortlessly filled the hall, from pianissimo up to a robust forte. The choir sang flawlessly, the Bach Collegium played with a concentrated dedication....Albrecht showed again his instinct for drama; he savoured the full range of emotions, from love to grief and then on to fury, but without ever sacrificing his sense of taste and beauty.”
