"Les Arts Florissants are offering a fascinating survey of his madrigal output in three volumes ... This group of performers is commendably aware of that move towards expressive freedomʺ.

"Vurdering: Recording of the month - Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Agnew's selection is impeccably judged ... Les Arts Florissants have not so rich a sound as their Italian counterparts but the lighter timbre makes for a texture of rare transparency, an elfin capacity to render changes that can be properly breathtaking ... And if you don't know a single volume should be enough to persuade you that you ought to have done, long ago".
