MusicWeb international2016 AprilByByCurtis Rogers2016 April"Biondi leads a cast and performance from Europa Galante that is graceful and frequently characterised by what might be identified as an Italianate sensibility ... It will certainly be of interest to devotees of this composer".Read review
BBC music magazine2016 MayByByAnna Picard2016 May"Directing from the violin, Biondi shapes a performance in which the depth of preparation results in music-making that sounds entirely spontaneous. There's a startling variety of articulation and colour from his tiny band, and beautifully responsive continuo playing. Ann Hallenberg delivers Tirinto's grave serenades and intricate passagework with unruffled ease ... Magnus Staveland conveys louche glamour in the swashbuckling title role".
The gramophone2016 MarchByByDavid Vickers2016 March"Biondi's accomplished performance, recorded at the Halle festival last June, permits a valuable insight into Handel's pragmatism and reconstructs a historic event".
