"This 'educated guess' programme of vocal works and concerti by Vivaldi, Hasse, Torelli and Perotti (all composers with Venetian connections) brings much pleasure and is played with verve on authentic instruments by Arte Dei Suonatori. The agile, warm-toned British soprano Ruby Hughes ... is engaging in Hasse and Vivaldi, and a special delight is the presence of the psaltery in the first few tracks".

"Vurdering: Ugens album" - "Musikken på Ugens Album er især af Vivaldi. Man ved, at han skrev musik for psalter, og at hans orkester rådede over to eksemplarer. Desværre er næsten al musikken gået tabt, og derfor har det fremragende polske barokorkester Arte dei Suonatori fået arrangeret Vivaldis musik på ny, bl.a. psalterudgaver af et par af hans Violinkoncerter".

"[Ruby Hughes's] part in this CD leaves nothing to be desired ... This disc's connection to Christmas seems rather loose, but it is a most interesting and musically rewarding production anyway. It can be played at any time of the year".

"Some tenuous theming here, but who cares when the music-making - tart and spicy on period-instruments - is so appealing?".
