"This present album includes, alongside selected opera arias, three of his four cantatas for alto voice with instrumental accompaniment ... In the arias from Vivaldi's operas Galou is at her most flexible and assured ... The cantatas are more problematic, partly because Vivaldi's text setting does not always help the singer".

"Die französische Kontraaltistin Delphine Galou schildert dies mit an Cecilia Bartoli erinnernder Energie, umschmeichelt den Text raffiniert und beweist auch Sinn für Humor ... Sie singt schlank und elegant ... Galous Ehemann Ottavio Dantone und seine Accademia Bizantina unterstützen sie mit knackigem Klang".

"Gramophone focus: The French contralto Delphine Galou has long proved herself a fine Vivaldi stylist and sings here with her trademark imagination and involvement ... Galou's singing always compels with its eloquence of phrase and urgent engagement with the text ... Galou and Accademia Bizzantina are likewise in their element in the disc of cantatas and opera arias ... Minor reservations aside, both discs are worthy of the consistently high standard set by the whole series. Galou fans and Vivaldi collectors alike should need no encouragement".
