"…listening now to these searching, unceasingly imaginative performances of Handel's finest instrumental music, I can't help feeling that Harnoncourt was (as he has been so often) simply ahead of his time… their consistent and often audacious probing at the music's meaning is a spirit-reviving antidote to what by comparison seems like bland cautiousness on the part of some of Harnoncourt's rivals." (Gramophone Concerto Grossi)

"There is both vitality and finesse and a genuine sense of style" (Penguin Guide Royal Fireworks)
