Essential Baroque arias with period instrument accompaniment
"[An] enjoyable [anthology] of arias sacred and secular… performances that would be hard to better in expressivity, quality of tone and diction, intonation, control of vibrato, and absence of technical strain.… The recording is as clear as a frosty morning, the acoustic spacious, and the balance exemplary.… A disc I shall often return to… Warmly recommended."
