"What happens in the story often seems far less important than the danced divertissements, which Rameau and Cahusac included in all three acts. This music is often gloriously vivid, and it's the robust singing of the Purcell Choir and the gutsy, extrovert playing of the Orpheus Orchestra under György Vasheygi that make the strongest impression. Still, the largely francophone cast are first rate: Chantal Santon-Jeffery takes the title role in a suitably winsome way ... It all adds up to much more than just a decent performance of a real baroque rarity".

"Bei CD-Einspielungen solcher Werke besteht die Herausforderung darin, dieses Multitheater hörbar zu machen. Dem ungarischen Cembalisten und Dirigenten György Vashegyi gelingt das wie einem guten Hörspielregisseur".

"The original production must have been a splendid sight, the effects including fire, lightning, collapsing mountains and a sea battle. Here the effects are aural but no less splendid. The vigorous Overture, full of syncopation, trumpets and drums much in evidence, leads straight into the opening chorus ... Indeed it's the choruses and the dances that provide the most appealing music, and the Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra under György Vashegyi do them proud ... Add first-rate performances from the rest of the cast ... and you have a winner".
