Awards and reviews
July 2007
…this performance is to be savoured, above all for its refreshing vitality, at its most beguiling in Rameau's sparkling chorus 'Paix favourable' (Act III, Scene 3), in a pair of Tambourins from the same act, and in the elegiacally sustained concluding Chaconne.
July 2007
…this live recording reminds us that this richly endowed and noble work must seek advocacy and exposure wherever it can. The most compelling reason to acquire this account is the consistent esprit of Walker's troupe, a clear love of the score and the elevated ensemble work throughout.
