Philippe Ramin - 10 Years of Diapason D’or (France) – December 2017

"... this release is very sucessful. It captures both the letter and spirit of this vivacious, demonstrative music. Engineering is good, too, with a good balance within sections, and between the ripieno and soloists. This is also one of the few early orchestral recordings where the continuo makes itself heard as well as felt. Throw in a truly generous album length, as well; in short, buy it."

Barry Brenesal - Fanfare - January/February 2011

"... Hugget and Duff characterise the variations with intelligence and artistry."

Robin Stowell - The Strad - November 2010
