"In all but name, Miriways is a German-language 'opera seria', with a happy ending after the characters have confronted - not too seriously, admittedly - the problem of love versus duty ... The music is attractive but, on the whole, bland. Once in a while Telemann will do something unexpected ... The cast is uniformly excellent ... André Morsch (Miriways) brings such authority to the part as the music allows ... In the trouser role of Sophi, Robin Johannsen is also heroic, but finds a touching wistfulness in the aria that concludes the second act ... No complaints about Bernard Labadie and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, nor about the live recording".
