You should always be extremely careful with what you read. In this year´s Gramophone Classical Guide the ridiculous short review on this fabulous recording says this: "A striking and thought-provoking performance from Alessandrini that uses a "soloistic" approach to impressive effect. Try and hear a little before you buy: it will either REPEL or entrance. We think the latter...."
That´s it. Not very helpful, is it? Though I would have loved an explanation on WHY it could REPEL.
The recording recommended is The King´s Consort, that although by no means bad, it can hardly compete with Alessandrini and his Concerto Italiano.
If you actually try it you´ll hear the heavenly voices of Roberta Invernizzi and Sara Mingardo, and they are as good as it gets, whatever the Gramophone says.
