"After listening to this recording of such a rarity, I began to wonder whether this work has ever had a finer performance than this one. We’ll never know what Mozart’s original team sounded like, but he’d have been lucky to have assembled a team as skilful, well balanced and neatly contrasted as this one." 

“The piece is performance to a high standard, with tenors Andrew Kennedy and Allan Clayton making the most of the Spirit of Christianity and the Half-Hearten Christian respectively. Soprano Sophie Bevan suggests all the pleasures of Worldliness, and soprano Sarah Fox exemplifies a compassionate Divine Mercy.”

“The orchestration is already of interest, particularly the accompanied recitatives which have a vitality and dramatic urgency that help imbue some life into the work. But the arias are weaker affairs...Page conducts the Orchestra of Classical Opera and makes as persuasive a case as possible.” ***

“Page and the Orchestra of Classical Opera have an unerring knack for making the most out of the young Mozart's characterful music...tenors Andrew Kennedy and Allan Clayton sing with an ideal synthesis of muscular directness and Mozartian elegance...[Worldliness's arias] are both sung with mischievous elan by Sophie Bevan.”

"... enthusiastic playing of the pungent instruments of the orchestra under Ian Page. The soloists are all effective. Outstanding are Andrew Kennedy, wit his clear ringing tenor, and the pure bright soprano of Sarah Fox ..."
