"Diesbezüglich hat der neue Shooting-Star in der Tat einiges zu bieten, angefangen von einem schönen Stimmmaterial über eine sehr zuverlässige, scheinbar unaufwendige Technik bis hin zu einer stilistisch recht differenzierten Gestaltung ... Einen erheblichen Beitrag zum sehr erfreulichen Gesamteindruck dieser Produktion leistet Arcangelo".

"The theme is transformation, by love or magic or a combination ... Arcangelo's instrumental playing is reliably interesting, sometimes too interesting (Jonathan Cohen is not a 'less is more' director) ... Prohaska's real talent is for the the earthy, wordy, rhythmically and emotionally multivalent declamations of Cavalli and Monteverdi ... Lamento della ninfa is the standout performance, brilliantly characterised by Prohaska ... This is more like an opera compressed into mere minutes".

"This is a programme put together with intelligence and care. Prohaska has a strong-centred voice with a slightly dark colouring which is striking in itself ... The more outgoing and technically demanding Handel and Vivaldi arias certainly come off effectively, with Prohaska's sometimes unconventional ornamentation adding a characterful twist ... Less successful are the Purcell items, which demands more lightness and clarity ... Prohaska touches the heart in Lamento della Ninfa".

"Prohaska darts through its roulades with vigour, setting the listener in the mood to hear more. Arcangelo and Cohen augment one's pleasure".
