'The playing is characterful throughout and puts as strong a case as one can make without needless hyperbole.'

Gramophone

I cannot imagine there is any reader who could fail to be beguiled by the gentle allure of this unfailingly amiable music. The playful spirit of the faster movements is effortlessly captured by these accomplished musicians while the lyricism, sometimes tinged with melancholy of the slow ones – the Adagio of the Quartet springs to mind – is always tenderly revealed. In short here is a disc of pure enchantment, and which offers a model of balanced ensemble playing.

BBC Music Magazine

The performances in general terms very satisfying, with accomplished playing from the oboist, violinist, and bassoonist (the splendid Sergio Azzolini).

Fanfare

There are many delights in this album for lovers of the chamber music of the baroque period; and the whole programme will even stand playing through without breaks between the different sonate - a most unfair acid test! The playing by the Epoca Barocca (a new ensemble to me) is a stylish delight throughout. Should anyone be hesitant about buying an album of trio sonate by a composer whom many may class as 'minor', try the F major with the benign, dove-like coo-ing of the chalumeau, set against the sharper timbre of oboe and the bass rock of bassoon.
