Reviews
Choice: 'He conducts his excellent Coro Ghislieri ... and the instruments used are period ones, which gives ideal colour and balance to this rare and precious score.'
Musiq’3 Radio
'The performance features some beautiful singing in the slow movements while others crackle with drama.'
Choir & Organ
'At the end of this listening session, we will remember the radiance of a Parisian singer in beauty within a largely Italian team: let's bet that Rossini would have enjoyed this high-flying transalpine dialogue.'
Diapason
'‘O salutaris' is unexpended song, exquisitely sung by Sandrine Piau. The harmonically adventurous 'Prelude religieux pendant l’offertoire' is otherworldly and mesmerizing on the Erard.'
