"The chamber oratorios of Luigi Rossi fall naturally within the repertory of Les Arts Florissants. Rossi was himself in Paris during the 1640s at the behest of Cardinal Mazarin and his music was well known to French Italophiles. These are works of considerable beauty, masterfully realised by William Christie, and deserving of issue on CD... The ingenious continuo orchestration devised by Christie-combinations of cello, bass viol, harpsichord, theorbo and lirone-is rich beyond comparison. The violin playing is shapely and sympathetic." Gramophone, February 1987
