"I wouldn't say wild exactly, but Handel does go a bit off-road on this polished jam session from L'Arpeggiata ... It's sometimes hard to know who is winning - and, for anyone who doesn't hate this disc immediately, that will be part of the appeal ... Soprano Nuria Rial singing O Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave Me? over tinkly music-box piano and soft plucked bass works a treat".
