"This 'educated guess' programme of vocal works and concerti by Vivaldi, Hasse, Torelli and Perotti (all composers with Venetian connections) brings much pleasure and is played with verve on authentic instruments by Arte Dei Suonatori. The agile, warm-toned British soprano Ruby Hughes ... is engaging in Hasse and Vivaldi, and a special delight is the presence of the psaltery in the first few tracks".
