"Presto editor's choices - December 2017: Over 1,000 years, from the Byzantine Empire to the Napoleonic Wars, Venice played a key role in shaping the Western music. Jordi Savall and his ensembles pay a tribute to a place that fully profited from its privileged links with the Orient while hosting geniuses like Monteverdi, Gabrieli and Vivaldi. As you have come to expect from Alia Vox, this CD-book is lavishly illustrated and documented".

"There is no prizes for guessing that the indomitable Jordi Savall and his intrepid forces are behind a lavishly illustrated package as easy on the eye as it is stimulating to brain and ear. Where to begin? Venezia Millenaria is as kaleidoscopic as the city itself ... No one who loves Venice (or Savall's boundless, creative curiosity) can be without this life-enhancing, utterly intoxicating release".

"Editor's choice: The characterful instrumental playing of Savall and his colleagues is reflected throughout in the vocal numbers, where colour and drama are prized above beauty, singers captured as though overheard by an anthropologist rather than engineered by a producer. The effect is wonderfully immediate - a snapshot not just of a city but of a spirit of music-making that Savall has pioneered ... Savall may have spawned a new generation of imitators, but this musical original is still showing us all how it is done".

"Savall's forces place atmospheric Orthodox and other non-western music alongside pieces by composers from Beethoven to Dufay, performing it all with panache".
