'A richly rewarding issue, thoughtfully approached, affectingly realized and beautifully recorded. A satisfying and important release.' Gramophone

"Holloway's performance stands well against the competition and not least for the imaginative support he gets from his colourful continuo group. The approach is gently reflective, virtuostic where required and firmly in touch with the many dance rhythms which lie at the heart of the music." Rosette (highest rating) Penguin Stereo Guide
