Benedetto Marcello: Arianna

‘Filippo Maria Bressan’s all-Italian forces give a vivid performance of this fascinating if uneven work… Recommended to any baroque enthusiast who fancies venturing off the beaten track.’ The Daily Telegraph on CHAN 0637 (Marcello)

‘The quality of this performance is high, with a fine Italian period-instrument orchestra, the Academia di li Musici, under the attentive direction of Filippo Maria Bressan…Excellent sound, and comprehensive information on the work and its context in the booklet’. Opera Now

Performance and sound are excellent. Such music can glitter; here the sound is velvety, which is much more appropriate’ Fanfare on CHAN 0637 (Marcello)
