"The production takes itself none too seriously, the Baroque absurdities of the plot enhanced by absurd costumes ... Fagioli rises to the challenge, as he offsets vocal pyrotehcnics with poignancy ... [Cencic is] silver voiced and dignified, despite wardrobes that are more pantomime dame than Persian princess ... Concerto Köln offers vibrant orchestral playing".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Both for the music-making and production this is an outstanding performance which does full justice to one of the great discovered operas of the late Baroque".

"Although I enjoyed the CDs, I am less enamoured of this staging ... casting men in women's roles is for me - visually at any rate - a step too far ... The singins is terrific".
