"Smiling, effective concertos, in which the prevalent style of Vivaldi is softened by a lovely French sensibility ... Using slightly lower pitch increases their eloquence, and Fabio Biondi's playing with his fine ensemble is beyond reproach. Not earth-shattering music, but very elegant".

"Ugens album: Velkommen til Paris i 1730'erne! ... Her hører man ... når det gælder violinmusik, kongen over dem alle Jean-Marie Leclair ... Leclair skrev i alt 12 violinkoncerter ... På Ugens Album kan man høre en solist, der fuldstændig forstår musikkens særlige personlighed. Det er Fabio Biondi ... Få violiner synger så levende og menneskeligt som hans, og i samspil med barokorkestret Europa Galante bliver Leclairs musik vidunderlig elastisk".

"Zwar spielt Fabio Biondi auch hier seine Barockgeige mit moderner Technik (vor allem mit viel Vibrato und hohem Bogendruck), aber erstaunlicherweise sind Leclairs Violinkonzerte dagegen ziemlich resistent".

"Moments of pure magic can be savoured above all in slow movements, but also when ingeniously incorporated within the contrasting ideas of faster ones ... Biondi conveys this subtle blend of "beau chant" and virtuosity with vitality and sensibility providing his own brief cadenzas where he feels they are called for".

"Each concerto has three movements, quick-slow-quick ... which Biondi plays with expressive beauty ... Elsewhere he improvises unwritten cadenzas, keeping just within the idiom of this tasteful, galant, unsuspecting age. A haunting evocation".

"Editor's choice: It feels as though Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante have hit the nail on the head with these readings ... Brightness and delicacy reign ... Biondi himself equally brings a Leclair-worthy combination of tenderness and precision to his solo lines ... All in all, Leclair couldn't have been displayed in a more warmly faithful light".
