Traetta’s Ifigenia in Tauride draws us into the tragic heart of the House of Atreus. Orestes is consumed by guilt over the murder of his mother Clytemnestra, while Iphigenia bears the lasting scars of her near-sacrifice, planned by her own father Agamemnon. They are two tormented souls, profoundly alone, who find each other in a moment of overwhelming recognition. Traetta’s music captures this tragic tension perfectly. Standing at the crossroads of Neapolitan bel canto and Gluck’s dramatic reform, his vocal writing is never an empty display. Every line, every ornament, conveys raw, sincere emotion. Christophe Rousset leads the musicians of Les Talens Lyriques and a brilliant cast of soloists, with Rocío Pérez delivering a deeply moving portrayal of Iphigenia, in this masterpiece by Traetta, recorded here for the first time.
