Reviews

'Morricone's orchestral mastery comes into its own in full clarity. In the best possible ensemble performance, no one, not even the primus inter pares Serino, ever pushes himself into the foreground.'

'The accuracy of the ensemble is breathtaking and the period instruments have characteristic colors. A wonderful performance.'

'She appears, everything fades away, she sings, even to the point of taking risks sometimes, and we listen only to her.'

'This is a very fine recording of three pieces by Purcell that are not as well known as they deserve to be. This is wonderful music ...'

'The artist keeps her freedom intact, even in this joyful escape into the wilderness.'

'... sumptuous studio work by the duo, and the ethereal vocalese of Daisy Chute on three numbers, elevates the potentially cheesy sentiment to a higher level.'

Editor's Choice: '... he brings such genial humour and cantabile beauty to the Bassoon Concerto, and he and Bezuidenhout have a ball with the K292 sonata.'

'Her understanding of the text is just as convincing as her handling of dynamics and tone: sometimes relaxed and detached, sometimes dramatic, sometimes cheerful, sometimes effervescent.'

'She gives an exemplary performance of Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis and Chausson's Chanson perpétuelle, whose sensuality and strange world of symbolist poetry she conveys.'
