Awards and reviews

January 2012

Neatly cut with suites from a lost 'Dafne' opera and tailed by a cheerful chaconne, Handel's cantata is given lively context in a tautly-directed recording.
4 out of 5 stars

January 2012

They both make the most of Handel's utterly delightful and sometimes poignant music. I think neither could be fairly said to have an exceptionally beautiful voice, but they both sing with great skill and dramatic insight...on the whole this recording is very recommendable, not least for the delightful orchestral rarities.
