"These 17th-century German meditations on earthly and heavenly music are thoughtfully performed. They take a straighter approach than L'Arpeggiata's recent projects, and it's a success".

"When they are good they are very, very good - energetic, stylish, disarmingly original - but when they are bad ... Thankfully, with Himmelsmusik we find the group back on solid musical ground, albeit terra incognita ... [Jaroussky and Scheen] are well-matched, and the results are wonderfully rich and unexpectedly sensual ... Instrumental numbers have all the group's signature lightness of touch and depth of colour, and the improvisatory freedom and sway of an anonymous Chiaccona is vintage L'Arpeggiata".
