"Tightly-wrought music of this kind is demanding to sing, and ... Philippe Herreweghe's seven-voice group are too careful - or insufficiently unbuttoned - to satifyingly render the joyful exsultation of 'Io mi son giovinetta', though their bass-heavy rendering of the dark numbers has surging force. With 'Si ch'io vorrei morire' - 'Yes, I would die' - they find a way to suggest the mounting excitement, and climbing melodic line, of a song which is all about physical coupling. And with 'Ohime, se tanto amate', they nicely communicate the rushes of emotion in the alternating despair and hope of the constant lover".
