Buena versión
«Interesante combinación de Boccherini y Astorga, interpretado con un sólo instrumento por voz en el campo de la orquesta. En esta obra, esta opción minimalista funciona bien, como si de música de cámara se tratara. Los cantantes son excelentes. »

Muy buena versión
«No se entiende porque este oratorio de Handel se ha grabado tan poco, pese a su excelente calidad. Esta versión de Robert King es excelente, con un rico bajo continuo formado por clave, órgano y archilaúd. Las voces agudas del coro están cantadas por niños, con excelentes resultados. La orquesta es impecable.»

Sublime
«Excelente interpretación de las canciones seculares de Purcell. Es, sin duda, la mejor versión que existe en el mercado. Robert King es el director más especializado en la música de Purcell, autor de la única biografía autorizada del compositor. Los instrumentos barrocos empleados suenan de maravilla, así como las voces de los cantantes.»

Recomendable
«A pesar de tratarse de una grabación antigua es todavía muy interesante por tratarse de una buena aproximación con instrumentos originales. Hoy en día existen versiones superadas con una más buena toma de sonido, pero esta versión tiene todavía su encanto.»

Soberbio
«Ésta es una de las mejores versiones de estas sonatas de Vivaldi. El violín de Enrico Onofri suena increíble. Es un musicazo especializado totalmente en el repertorio barroco italiano. Disco soberbio, lleno de energía, ornamentaciones y rigor barrocos.»
