"High quality of the singing and instrumental playing. A major attraction of Antonini's version is the casting of Sonia Prina as Roman Emperor Ottone. Her rounded vocal timbre and and powerful declamation bring strong characterisation to the role".

"To sum up, this is shorter and tauter than many of Vivaldi's later operas, with plenty of fine arias and an above average libretto ... Of the two version, Antonini's is my top recommendation ... On every level - singing, drama and recording - it offers the richer experience".
