"Mit Auszügen aus grossen Werken wie "La Calisto", "Giasone", "Ormindo", "Eliogabalo" und "Elena", aber auch unbekannteren Opern wie "Pompeo Magno", "Orione" und "Eritrea" übersteigt es alles, was es bisher von diesem Komponisten gab. Das bislang orignellste Album des Sängers - von allerhöchstem Repertoirewert".

"Recording of the week: There's a refreshing and often beguiling naturalness to his vocal delivery throughout, which suits this music uncommonly well ... His vocal suppleness and steadiness, too, remain undiminished, which is a particular delight in Cavalli's many long-breathed laments, where he eschews the temptation to bend pitches for expressive effect or to gild the lily by playing with vibrato and audible gear-changes ... Lemieux camps things up with gleeful abandon in a remarkable scene from Calisto".

"Pier Francesco Cavalli, Schöpfer von mehr als 40 Opern ... hat in Philippe Jaroussky und dem Ensemble Artaserse leidenschaftliche und einfühlsame Kronzeugen gefunden, die Lust auf mehr machen. In den 24 Ausschnitten aus rund 15 Opern tut sich eine Schatzkiste von Klängen auf, die mal hell, mal dezent schimmernd in die Welt leuchten ... Das Ensemble Artaserse wirbelt mitreissend durch die schnellen Nummern ... Der Einfalls- und Farbenreichtum des Ensembles auf Blas-, Saiten- und Rhythmusinstrumenten unterstützt die herausragende Begabung Jarousskys, emotional zu berühren".

"På sin nye cd er turen kommet til 1600-tals komponisten Francisco Cavalli, født i 1602 ... Han skrev 41 operaer, selvom de 14 er forsvundet i dag ... Desværre blev jeg skuffet næsten helt fra begyndelsen ... Intonationen var usikker ... Højden var presset, og det vibrato, som Jaroussky altid har brugt med varsomhed og omtanke ... var kommet ud af den skarpe kontrol, jeg tidligere har beundret ham for ... Musikeren Jaroussky er stadig værd at lytte til ... men så snart musikken kræver mere ekstreme ting af sangeren, vil stemmen desværre ikke helt som han. Køb pladen for repertoiret, for det eminente Ensemble Artaserse og de to fine supporting act-sangere Emöke Barát og Marie Nicole Lemieux".

"If Handel's Xerxes has a showmanship, an aesthetic swagger that Cavalli's lacks in the lilting prettiness of his own ode to a plane tree, we see the Italian's skill emerge elsewhere - in the delicacy with which he paints grief, loneliness and loss ... No one manipulates a ground bass quite so skilfully ... Jaroussky too is at his best in these whispery, crooned laments where the voice treads the line between sound and silence".
