"Echo et Narcisse was a failure at its early performances largely because the audiences and critics expected high drama along the lines of Alceste Armide and Iphigénie en Tauride. But Echo et Narcisse is a different type of work; it belongs to the pastoral tradition still popular at this date and a genre to which Gluck frequently returned. Comparisons were and are still made with Gluck's more popular dramas because Echo et Narcisse contains numbers and scenes similar to those that had made greater impressions before. It is not a weak opera and there is much fine music in it ." Jeremy Hayes in Grove Music Online Gluck was a "Bohemian-Austrian composer of Italian and French opera a leading figure in opera of the second half of the 18th century and the person chiefly credited with the 'reform' of opera after the age of Metastasian opera seria. . Force of circumstance may have led Gluck to Paris to complete his operatic career but in artistic terms Paris can be seen as his inevitable final destination. His years of grounding in opéra comique and the ballet and via Traetta his response to the French tragédie lyrique tradition had already provided the impetus for his overhaul of the opera seria; now it was time to confront that tradition on its own territory. On more than one occasion indeed Gluck explicitly owned the French influence and its particular effect on his preparation for Paris. Between them the eight operas that he produced for the Académie Royale de Musique in Paris - the two Iphigénie operas; the radical revisions for Paris of the Vienna 'reform' operas Orfeo and Alceste; the similar revisions of the Vienna opéras comiques Cythère assiégée and L'arbre enchanté; Armide a new opera on a libretto that Quinault had written for Lully more than 90 years earlier; and the last opera Echo et Narcisse - are all different attempts at the confrontation and revival of that lyric tradition."

Gluck's work is a tragedy in four acts to a libretto by Nicolas-François Guillard after Guymond de la Touche's Iphigénie en Tauride itself based on Euripides's work of the same name. "Iphigénie en Tauride was the crowning achievement of Gluck's career a result of the combination of his lifelong experience as an opera composer and a libretto which is arguably the best he ever set." Jeremy Hayes in Grove Music Online It was first performed in Paris at the Opéra on 18 May 1779 "with excellent singers; Rosalie Lavasseur sang Iphigénie Larrivée Oreste Legros Pylade and Moreau Thoas. . The opera had a great success immediately and even Grimm wrote of it - I do not know whether this is melody but perhaps it is something better. When I hear Iphigénie I forget I am at the opera; I seem to be listening to a Greek tragedy with music by Lekain and Mlle Clarion. It was the crowning point of Gluck's career. Guillard had provided an excellent libretto more classical than Goethe's poem less Christian and more ruthless; and Gluck had seized on the contrast between Scythians and Greeks upon the perfectly dramatic figures of Iphigenia and Orestes and had produced a work which both re-created a part of Greek tragedy and at the same time foretold a new world." Cooper: Gluck p. 258. Schlesinger's Buch= und Musikhandlung, Unter den Linden No. 34. [PN 50] unknown
