"Med ukendte, men stærke arier ... bruger østrigske Prohaska fra Berliner Staatsopers solistensemble sin bløde, forførende stemme til at præsentere os for en stribe glemte fremstillinger af Kleopatra. Her er piber, trommer og dans".

"Graupners instrumentale Wellen, Sartorios Lust an verschiedenen Stimmungen und Luigi Rossis sanft ausschwingende Passacaglia markieren Eckpunkte des klanglichen Reichtums dieser CD".

"Anna Prohaska's artistry has developed significantly ... Now working with Giovanni Antonini and Il Giardino Armonico, Prohaska's focus is on two African queens, Dido and Cleopatra ... She' unstintingly expressive and imaginative ... She breaks metre or changes colour abruptly, and gasps, scoops and sighs ... It's a maddening, fascinating and often bewitching disc".

"The disc's principal pleasures, however, lie in the rarities, where we also find Prohaska at her most beguiling ... Antonini contributes some exquisite flute and recorder obbligatos, and the orchestral playing has great fluency and charm throughout".
