Fono Forum2009 MärzafafReinmar Emans2009 März"Ganz erstaunlich is die Natürlichkeit mit der etwa Magid El-Bushra seine Countertenor-Rolle ausfüllt ... Wie Rinuccinis Euriduce kehrt auch die Musik Caccinis unversehrt wieder aus der Unterwelt zu den Lebende zurück".
BBC music magazine2014 JuneafafKate Bolton2014 June"With its stylish Italian cast directed by Rinaldo Alessandrini ... this is a precious recording ... There are a few moments of slack ensemble, but the performance has a sense of dramatic spontaneity and a linearity often missing from more heavily edited versions. Sivlia Frigato is suitably dewy-voiced in the title-role ... Concerto Italiana delivers an eloquent piece of musical story telling".
The gramophone2009 MarchafafRichard Lawrence2009 March"Anyone expecting the richness and variety of Orfeo will be disppointed ... But it is all zestfully put across by this young French ensemble ... In fact, the perfomance is on par with the excellent account of Peri's Euridice under Roberto de Caro, recorded in 1992 on Arts Music".
The gramophone2014 MayafafDavid Vickers2014 May"Frigato's contributions are sweetly endearing ... Alessandrini and his continuo colleagues ensure the drama zips along at an intensive pace, although the battery of full-frontal plucking wears thin after a while".
International record review2014 JuneafafChristopher Price2014 June"Despite the shortcomings of Alessandrini's singers, and perhaps thanks to his outstanding instrumentalists and his attentive and poised chorus, he manages to create a powerful music drama".
