"Recording of the week: Though the title-character is naturally assigned several show-stopping arias, it's Zanaida who is the beating heart of the opera, and Galou brings her to life in all her emotional complexity ... Biondi's energetic, imaginative direction is of course key to the success of the entire project, bringing real coherence to a work which could easily seem like Now That's What I Call Music 1732: even the most pedestrian recitatives have drive and dramatic impetus".

"Diese Oper ist ein Machwerk ... Die Forscher haben neben Vivaldi fünf weitere Kollegen in einer in Darmstadt überlieferten anonymen Partitur identifiziert ... Das Werk hat dramaturgische und musikalische Schwächen. Trotzdem hört man gerne zu, etwa der exaltierten Zanaida, der Delphine Galou in ihrer Arie "Io son rea" den Ausdruck ungezügelter kreatürlicher Empörung verleiht. Ihre Virtuosität ist ganz anders, als die von Emöke Baráth in der Titelpartie, Bei ihr ist alles kalkuliert und akrobatisch präzis".

"Opera choice: Scholarship aside, what counts is whether Fabio Biondi directing Europa Galante finds satisfying music theatre in this collage. And so he does ... Vivaldi's musical fingerprints are everywhere on the score - those driving violins with their urgent rhythms, careful word painting and at best characters revealed through their music ... Of the women characters Delphine Galou's Zanaida gets the pick of the arias in a recording that is bright and lets the singers lead, which is as it should be".

"Spirited recitatives are delivered rapidly. The title-role is performed adroitly by Emőke Baráth, and Argippo's courageous wife Osira is sung with assertive fioriture and focused phrasing by Marie Lys. Delphine Galou is a vociferous tour de force as the embittered antagonist Zanaida but her singing also has masterful subtlety when tackling deceptively fiendish cantilena".
