Classics today2009afafDavid Vernier2009"The instrumental playing, by the Collegium Cartusianum, could be just a bit "tighter" and more crisply executed in places, but overall it's terrific and very much in the spirit of Handel's ambitious scoring. The choir is fabulous, really involved and reveling ... Strongly recommended".Læs anmeldelse
BBC music magazine2009 SeptemberafafGeorge Pratt2009 September"Neumann's forces respond magnificently. Solo voices have a rare, natural ease ... In short, this recording is an outstanding contribution to the Handel anniversary celebrations".
BBC music magazine2013 SeptemberafafBayan Northcott2013 September"There is a fine trio of soloists, however, who make most of their more lightly scored arias. And while those who already regard Mozart's Handel arrangements as a crime against authenticity will faint at the monstrousness of it all, this reconstruction does at least suggest how early 19th-century music lovers understood Handel".
The gramophone2009 AwardsafafDavid Vickers2009 Awards"Collegium Cartuisianum play with suppleness, unforced strenght in extrovert numbers and sensitivity in quieter and more lyrical moments".
The gramophone2013 SeptemberafafDavid Threasher2013 September"Vurdering: Gramophone choice - Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "To my knowledge, it's the only one currently avaiable that presents the work in Mozart's 1790 arrangement; and it's a score whose eventfullness plays admirably to Harnoncourt's individual brand of theatricality ... It's a relief and a big pleasure to welcome this big Timotheus, performed in such a way as Handel all too rarely is these days".
