"With playing of verve and style by Arcangelo, this rewarding album offers a fine platform for Lindsey, pure-voiced, pliant, expressive - and versatile".

"Den amerikanske mezzosopran Kate Lindsey har slået sig sammen med barokensemblet Arcangelo og deres dirigent Jonathan Cohen for at udforske de mindre kendte udgaver an den tragiske historie. Alessandro Scarlatti, Haydn og Händel har alle komponeret kantater, små dramatisk fortællinger om Ariadne ... Det giver Kate Lindsey rig mulighed for at vise, hvad hun kan med sin smukke og alsidige mezzo, som hun bruger med stort engagement og indlevelse i de tre meget forskellige kantater ... L'Arianna er et dejligt album".

"Choral & song choice: Ardent, brilliant, stately: mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey probes the inner states of the mythical Cretan princess Ariadne ... Cohen adds hugely to these performances, in the Haydn especially. Cohen takes risks with his tempos and dynamics, and by allowing the instrumentalists to sometimes push Lindsey aside; these pay off in many striking moments, for instance when Haydn's heroine overtakes the band to sprint to her final cadence. Forget victimhood - here, Ariadne wins".

"Her strong and assured voice slips easily into this music ... and throughout she shows impressive technical control and agility. More strikingly, though, she brings her stage experience to bear in dramatic readings whose intelligent responses to the differing nuances of these three pieces are what really make the project spark ... The playing of Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen is typically high-quality, and often heartbreakingly attendant to the drama!".
