Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Richard Hickox keeps a firm rhythmic hand on everything and delivers quite the best and neatest Vivaldi operatic recording yet."

Gramophone

"Susan Gritton, as the wilful Cleonilla, is excellent, as is Nancy Argenta's Caio, who is given the most striking arias, from the raging 'Gelosia' to the poignant 'Leggi almeno'. Recommended."

BBC Music Magazine

"...Richard Hickox with an excellent cast of soloists and his fine period-instrument group, Collegium Musicum 90, presents the opera with a freshness and vigour..."

The Penguin Guide

"The excellent work of Collegium Musicum 90, yet another early-music group making substantial contributions to the catalog, is another factor contributing to the success of this recording."
