Duetti e terzetti italiani

"You can expect these days to hear sopranos of impeccable virtuosity such as Roberta Invernizzi and Silvia Frigato, though they blend and balance with exceptional skill. Rather more surprising is the equally effortless clarity and brilliance of Thomas Bauer's baritone, matching every roulade with easy grace. This is an enlivening disc with ... swirling vocal sequences".

"Their demands are often virtuosic: here sopranos Roberta Invernizzi and Silvia Frigato share the honours with tenor Krystian Adam and baritone Thomas Bauer, and they are all up to the pieces' demands ... The accompaniments, meanwhile, are stylishly handled by the three members of La Risonanza".

"The two voices involved ... are no ideally matched ... Generally, though, their perfect intonation, vocal vitality and solid musicianship carry them along, pleasantly savouring some of Handel's delicate word-painting".

"Insgesamt eine sehr hörenswerte einspielung von Stücken, die man eher etwas ausserhalb des Händel'schen Kernrepertoires ansiedeln muss, die aber gleichwohl geholfen haben, den Nachruhm des Komponisten zu sichern".

"Elegant but unimaginative recital with Harry Bicket and The English Concert ... The playing is crisp and the singig polished and stylish, with Joshua, in particular, conveying infectious delight in this sophistcated music".

"Carolyn Sampson und Robin Blaze haben nicht nur traumhaft schöne Stimmen, sonders gehen auch gestalterisch mit einer bemerkenswerten Sensibilität aufeinander und auf die musik ein. Ebenso subtil ist die Orchesterbegleitung".
