'This is early vocal chamber music at its most sophisticated.'
(BBC Radio CD Review)
'This is early vocal chamber music at its most sophisticated. It demands real effort on the part of the would-be listener - not just to get inside the poetry, but also to recognise and enjoy Monteverdi's huge armoury of warlike and amorous musical gestures.'
Jeremy Summerly, CD Review, BBC Radio 3, 2 November 2002
'A thrilling set.'
Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times, 10 November 2002
'Every number is a gem….much of the singing is simply superb.'
Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 15 November 2002
'thrilling performances that prove that Monteverdi's style really could give musical expression to the most extreme human passions.'
Elizabeth Roche, The Daily Telegraph, 16 November 2002
'These exquisitely beautiful works…could not hope for more eloquent latter-day advocates than that tireless archaeologist of the Baroque, René Jacobs, and a dazzling array of soloists led by the mezzo Bernarda Fink and soprano Maria Cristina Kiehr.'
Anthony Holden, The Observer, 17 November 2002
'Rene Jacobs draws upon superb soloists for readings of astonishing breadth and refinement.'
Andrew Clarke, The Independent, 23-29 November 2002
