"Stepping cautiously on to Cecilia Bartoli's turf, DiDonato and Alan Curtis ... have unearthed some Baroque rarities. Instead of Handel's Berenice, we have Orlandini's Berenice, whose 'Da torbida procella' is an ideal fit for DiDonato's spitfire fioritura ... The switch from Hasse ... to the blush of woodwind in Handel ... is the most striking juxtaposition on a disc that elsewhere fails to capture the full warmth and expressivity of DiDonato's voice".
