"Ugens album: Det blev en aften, der gik over i historien, da den store kapelmester og komponist Claudio Monteverdi indtog kirkerummet en Skt. Hans Aften i Venedig i 1620. Med sig havde han nemlig en halvanden time lang musikgudstjenste til ære for Johannes Døberen ... På Ugens Album kan du høre en rekonstruktion af, hvordan det gik for sig ... Og på Ugens Album kaster både sangsolisterne og ikke mindst blæserne sig ud i vilde fraseringer, teknisk suverænt og musikalsk helt i stilen".

"Just occasionally, putting into practice his current thinking, Hollingworth's tempos can sound a touch didactic, but this is a glorious addition to the Monteverdi 450 celebrations. And all hail I Fagiolini in its 30th birthday year!".

"Recording of the month - Editor's choice: There is plenty of warmth and animation in the superb music-making. I Fagiolini's consort and solo singing are exemplary ... In such sure hands (and throats) as these, Monteverdi's psalm-settings reach their fullest capacity to enchant and astonish".
