PENGUIN GUIDE ROSETTE
"There are few records of Monteverdi's solo vocal music as persuasive as this. The performances are outstanding, with the edge on Emma Kirkby's voice attractively presented in an aptly reverberant acoustic. The accompaniment makes a persuasive case for authentic performance on original instruments."
-Penguin Guide
