Awards and reviews

September 2012

Though Johannsen sings stylishly, Bradic's jolie laide Medea is slow to warm up, while Dumaux's shapely countertenor is too delicate to suggest a man of action...Orchestrally it's a delight, sensually swung on a hammock of lutes and harpsichords by conductor Federico Maria Sardelli, zestful in the Act II combattimento, bone-chilling in the sharp sforzandos of Medea's incantation.
3 out of 5 stars

June 2012

Dumaux offers velvety timbre through the whole range, terrific depth in the lower range and ornamentation applied with innate elegance.
