"This is the last and most famous of Gesualdo's books of madrigals ... Recordings of it are not in short supply ... The performers ... deck out the sound with warm chords and quicksilver, joyous runs. Elsewhere there are issues of balance and blend ... These performances are pleasant but not especially subtle".

"This year is the 400th anniversary of Gesualdo's death and ... this offering is the best so far, though something odd has happened to the Glossa Gesualdo madrigal series ... recorded by La Venexiana, and has now switched to the new group, La Compagnia del Madrigale ... These extremely accomplished singers makes sense of these notoriously wayward and enigmatic works ... They are able to capture the kaleidoscopic thoughts of the poetry, producing clarity of utterance in spite of the intricate counterpoint".

"Herreweghe's singers are well matched ... They are light on their feet, which suite his approach ... At its best the beauty of the Collegium's voices is very impressive.

"A masterclass in quicksilver dynamic shading, meticulous cadential shaping, crystal-clear poetic declamation and flawlessy judged harmonic shifts".
