" Their delivery is fresh and colloquial, like animated conversation between friends. The vocal blend isn't smooth - the character of each singer shines through, and the result is all the more colourful for it".

"Les Arts Florissants singen die Madrigale in solistischer Besetzung ... Drei Primärtugenden sind dieser Einspielung wesentlich ... Äusserste Textverständlichkeit, Transparenz des strukturellen Gefüges und klangschöne Homogenität des Ensembles ... Dieses besondere Oeuvre, die gestalterisch und auch klangtechnisch Massstäbe setzt".

"There are some delightfully sparkling and engaging displays here...The singers are agile, but some have a tendency to 'squeeze' their notes out, producing a forced vibrato ... Recordings of Monteverdi's very early madrigals are rare and this surpasses some ... If not all".

"Vurdering: Baroque Vocal of the year" - "Les Arts Florissants sing with exquisite clarity, creating excitement from exactitude rather than sheer velocity ... The whole disc is exquisite".

"That these are live performances, and in a relatively dry though not unflattering acoustic, contributes to the sense of spontaneity ... One is torn between regret that there is to be only one further volume, and anticipation at what it might bring".
