"Vurdering: BBC music choice - Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "Many of Telemann's solo cantatas are rushed compositions ... Ihr Völker Hört is a stunning exception, flute and strings framing a recitative ... Clare Wilkinson's clear, uncluttered mezzo soprano perfectly partners the flute in a final Hallelujah. Lastly, an Overture in F introduces horns - impeccably played - with bassoon and strings, a rich alluring sound ... A superb disc which must rank as an outstanding buy for every Telemanniac".

"The delicacy and finesse of Florilegium's playing imparts a light, airy feel to the music that is initially very appealing ... A pleasant surprise is the inclusion of the brief Epiphany cantata, 'Ihr Völker, hört', sung here by mezzo Claire Wilkinson with obbligato flute by Ashley Solomon. Voice and flute complement each other beautifully ... though it's the performers themselves who bring such freshness and vivacity to Telemann's charming music".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Wilkinson's softly convivial and articulate singing communicates the cheerful Epiphany text. Solomon takes centre stage in a flute concerto in D major (TWV51:D2), but my ears were drawn equally to the sympathetic continuo-playing of theorbist David Miller and harpsichordist Terence Charlston".

"Marcel Ponsele is one of the most expressive baroque oboists around at the moment and his own ensemble Il Gardellino demonstrates comparable sensibility ... All in all, then, an outstandingly awarding programme, with playing that avoids exaggerated gestures and attention-seeking gimmickry".
