Hoffnung des Wiedersehens : Telemann arias

"Vurdering: Ugens cd" - "På Ugens Cd kan man møde en helt ukendt side af Telemann: Hans operaer. Han skrev mindst 30 operaer ... Mange af dem er gået tabt i årenes løb, og man har kun titlerne tilbage. Men det der findes lyder skønt, i hvert fald når der synges og spilles så godt som på Ugens Cd. Solisten er den baskiske sopran Nuria Rial. En sangerinde med en fantastisk smuk klang og en raffineret musikalitet. Hun synger med en vidunderlig vægtløshed, som klæder musikken elegance".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "It is hard to think of a better specialist german Baroque soprano than Mields at the momnet; her flawless tone, awareness of instrumental interplay, delivery of poetry and shapely phrasing provide nothing but undiluted pleasure".

"Telemann's operas .. deserve the thumbnail introduction provided by Nuria Rial's delightful performances of extracts from five different operas ... Julia Schröder demonstrates her skills as soloist in two contrasting violin concertos ... My sole criticism is the substandard editing of the booklet".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "This has all the ingredients of a genuinely outstanding recording. First it has a star singer, Nuria Rial ... The disc predominantly displays the crystalline purity of her voice and her rich seam of eloquent lyricism. Her precise and fluting upper register is the most impressive vocal attribute in evidence here ... Secondly it features a genuinely virtuoso instrumental soloist. Julia Schröder ... Thirdly it has absolutely first-rate orchestral support ... But do they result in a truly outstanding recording? Without a shadow of a doubt, yes".
