(cpo 2002)

[…] The bright timbre, the flow of his [Christoph Prégardien’s] legato is truely admirable; the colourfulness and truthfulness of musical gestures are insurpassable […] contributing greatly to this is the accompanying violinist Michi Gaigg with her L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra […] transparent and passionate Mozart playing.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 01/2003

The lyrical tenor Christoph Prégardien sets dramatically to work with the text. The L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra finely adds the rather dry, but warm gut string sound.
radiomagazin 02/2003

Interpretation and sound merit the highest possible rating.
Fono Forum 03/2003

Prégardien sings the music with his accustomed commitment and sense of style. There is elegance and warmth in his phrasing. L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra is a keen, perceptive ensemble that provides excellent accompaniments. The recorded quality is high and there are detailed notes, texts and translations.
International Record Review 04/2003

A superb recording of Mozart arias.
Salzburger Nachrichten 04/2003

The achievement deserves the highest praise: this has turned out a very convincing interpretation.
