“The warm and clear recording of the hall comes across beautifully, and the Academy of Ancient Music plays with the relaxed, easy-going confidence of a group entirely at home in the venue. Their trademark gorgeousness of tone is also as melting as ever” Metro

“The Hall’s acoustics are fresh and vivid, and they prove perfect for these performances by the most venerable period band in Britain. The soloists are on top form” (The Independent)“It’s good that London’s premier chamber venue has joined in the proliferation of live recordings, especially with a production at this high level: an indication of the healthy state of Baroque performance today … More than a souvenir of a great night out at the Wigmore” BBC Music Magazine

“Recorded live, warts and all, this is an electrifying survey of Baroque concertos … the zesty interaction of the AAM’s players in two of Handel’s Op 6 Concerti grossi is unflaggingly alert, playful and dramatic” Gramophone
