Baroque Journey
Sumi Jo (soprano) / Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra

[ Warner Classics / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 30 November 2007

"For her part, Jo sounds splendid on this whole recording, even in the ultra-difficult Vivaldi aria "Agitata da due venti" from the opera Griselda, nailed by labelmate Angelina Reaux in its equivalent version from the opera Bajazet in Fabio Biondi's set of that work for Virgin Classics."
