"Piau negotiates with true French panache both the vocal and emotional highs and lows. Her voice is as sensual as Piaf, poetic as Greco, and with a chameleon-like sensitivity to the dramatic context. There's volatile playing, too, from Les Paladins ... Jérôme Correas conjures up all the magic of Baroque theatre in a sequence of passion, tenderness and tragedy".

"This is largely unfamiliar stuff, even to Baroque aficionados. But it's hard to think of another soprano who could 'sell' it as persuasively as Sandrine Piau. To these scorned and perplexed heroines she brings her familiar pellucid, subtly varied tone and scintillating coloratura technique, together with a mastery of French declamation that tends to elude non-native speakers".

"The music on this disc is spaced between 1686, Lully's Acis et Galatée, and 1783, the year of Sacchini's Renaud. A cross-section of arias is presented, from the florid and flamboyant to the consoling and caressing. Sandrine Piau exhibits no signs of difficulty in the ascending and descending of the vocal ladders ... Just sit back and savour the artistry of Sandrine Piau and her colleagues in some glorious music".
