January 2022

A thoughtful assembly of music depicting affliction and repentance on the one hand and joy and desire on the other. The recording finds Sabine Devieilhe on sparkling form. Bach and Handel do not always sit comfortably together, so it is all the more rewarding when they do.
5 out of 5 stars

December 2021

The singing is almost indecently ravishing and yet she never takes you beyond the brink, even when she sails into stratospheric ornaments.

November 2021

The programme may seem a little disjointed, but the French soprano is in ravishing, luminous voice throughout. Cleopatra's two great laments are given with heart-rending fragility (the floated top C sharp in 'Se pietà di me non senti' is worth the price of the disc alone), and the jubilant coloratura of Bach's Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen is despatched with tender rapture rather than showy exuberance.
