Amazon.com: Music: Vivaldi : L'estro armonico / Fabio Biondi, Europa Galante (#)
„As a result you hear a sharp attack of the notes in one bar, the next bar is played legatto, the following bar is pianissimo, now the next bar is stacatto, and so on. The dynamics is exaggerated, the duration of some silences is exaggerated, he adds some annoying ritardandos that destroy the natural progression of the melodic line, etc. I addition there are a lot of unnecessary'embellishment' notes. All this is just distracting.“

BBC - Classical Review - Scarlatti: La Santissima Trinità, Ensemble Europa Galante
„On the other hand, there's the music - some of the most ravishingly beautiful Alessandro Scarlatti I've heard, especially in the second part...sample Faith's aria Vedrai la tortorella with its soaring violin duo imitating a pair of doves, or the gorgeous duet that comes straight after it, with a meandering viola imitating a stream while solo violin twitters bird-like above. And the performers: Roberta Invernizzi bringing a burnished radiance to Faith, offset by the lighter beauty of Veronique Gens as Divine Love, while Paul Agnew's Faithlessness mocks their beliefs with a range of incredulous gestures, doubtful silences and dizzying changes of speed. It's all propelled with tremendous gusto by Europa Galante directed from the violin by Fabio Biondi, one moment whipping up a ferocious tempo, the next stepping aside to let his continuo team accompany the singers' recitatives with great sensitivity. Biondi never pushes the score harder than it'll bear, and caresses the details with such affection that you'll soon be persuaded that this is more neglected masterpiece than overlooked oratorio.“
