Reviews
'... this performance brings out the idiosyncratic variety of Rossini’s music, at once operatic, sacred and quirky.'
The Guardian
Album of the Week: 'With its 16 members, the choir provides flawless contributions. There is also a French touch to the soloist team ... top soprano Sandrine Piau, who sings beautifully in her great solo O salutaris hostia.'
Trouw
'... the orchestral conception takes on a formidable scope: right in suggestion and poetic thought, though contained in the calibre of sound ... and prudently intimate in the phrasing.'
Suonare News
'All is played with precision and warmth of tone and grace of phrasing. It is really rather special.'
