"Philippe Jaroussky here combines well-established with less-often heard sacred pieces ... Jaroussky has a vocal range that can comfortably accommodate Vivaldi's often very exacting demands ... Throughout his recital Jaroussky highlights the sensuous contours of Vivaldi's melodies ... Ensemble Artaserse provides responsive support".

"Vurdering: Empfehlungen des Monats" - "Das Ensemble Artaserse begleitet rücksichtvoll und gleichzeitig charmant. Hier wird nich gedrückt oder forciert, sondern man atmet offenbar gemeinsam und zieht am gleichen Affektstrang".

"Like all the finest recordings of Vivaldi's sublime hymn ... Jaroussky strikes a contoured balance between poetic tenderness in the narrative, emotional expressiveness in the descriptions of Mary's anguish and sorrow ... and lyrical softness in the aria-like verses ... Ensemble Artaserse sway serenely in the cheerful motet Clarae stellae".
