"Cenčić lends his ripe countertenor to the title role of a relatively neglected Handel opera and leads a performance to relish ... Hallenberg all but upstages everyone around her ... George Petrou's orchestra offers eloquent and elegant support throughout ... There are several memorable arias ... but the highlight is Gismonda's Vieni, o Figlio, mesmerisingly sung by Hallenberg".

"The leading man is Max Emanuel Cenčić (Ottone), his tone keen, flexible and brilliant ... Though Xavier Sabata's fioritura is more effortful, he brings emotionality and intelligence to the role of Adalberto ... Ann Hallenberg as Gismonda, menacing, imperious and agile; Anna Starushkevych as Matilda, tender and magnanimous; Pavel Kudinov as Emireno, darkly handsome of tone ... You'll wonder why Ottone remains relatively obscure".

"Editor's choice: Petrou draws rhythmically animated, sensitively coloured playing from the crack Italian band ... The cast is uniformly strong ... Cenčić, with his unusually powerful, sensuous countertenor, rescues [Ottone] from self-regarding wimpishess ... This new recording is emphatically the version to have of an opera whose dramatic flaws are redeemed by magnificent individual scenes and any number of good tunes".
