"Simone Kermes treats these first airings with due care, exhibiting stately grace and poise on Porpora's "Alto Giove", and coping remarkably with the wide range and rapid coloratura passages of material often written for castrati, notably Giuseppe De Majo's "Per trionfar pugnando"".

"This collection of castrato arias includes six astonishing discoveries, many recorded for the first time, from Porpora, Johann Aldolf Hasse and Giuseppe de Majo, sung by the beguilingly agile Simone Kermes with delightfully pungent playing from La Magnifica Comunità".

"Vurdering: BBC music opera choice" - "Simone Kermes's latest cd of 18th-century opera seria arias is delightful from start to finish ... The German soprano delivers ... with a spellbinding command of vocal style, mood and tone-colouring ... Throughout, La Magnifica Comunità, the Padua-based period band, supports her magnificently".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "With Dramma, Kermes presents yet more mostly unknown, ravishing arias from the golden age of opera seria ... Kermes's wide vocal range and her facility with glittering coloratura can be heard immediately ... making her today's most thrilling exponent of late-Baroque opera".

"A flamboyant star in her native Germany, Simone Kermes is a dangerous, no-holds-barred singer. Like Cecilia Bartoli, whom she often resembles, she specialises in ferreting out unknown castrato arias ... Kermes' voice is hardly conventionally beautiful, but here ... she thrills with her fearless atatck and coruscating coloratura ... In reflective music Kermes is more controversial ... That said, Kermes is never dull. And at her finest ... her energy, technical brilliance and imagination silence criticism".
