For it was not until Iphigenie en Tauride that he contrived a balance between musical and dramatic interest which was, of its school, a perfect one ... Iphigenie en Tauride is the one indisputable masterpiece produced by Gluck, the one composition which can be measured against the very highest productions in its own, or any other branch of musical expression." Cooper: Gluck, p. 260. Items handled by the company include autograph musical manuscripts and letters of composers; rare printed.
