"A glorious selection of highlights, full of astonishing singing and playing, from Vivaldi's opera of 1720. The vocal cast is well-nigh ideal, and Jean-Christophe Spinosi's very theatrical reading of the score is forcefully articulated by orchestra (try the opening Sinfonia!) and singers alike." (MusicWeb - Recording of the Year 2008)
"This recording is a blast! Maybe if this was a well-known opera that had been recorded 25 times before, Spinosi would not have dared to perform it this way, but who cares? It's tremendously exciting, in the way that we have come to expect from some early-music groups such as Il Giardino Armonico. Who's to say that Baroque musicians did not play with dynamics and accents to give the music life?
This is Punk-Rock Vivaldi, more fun than being thrown into a barrel full of puppies. Enjoy!"
