 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 

"Gorgeous French soprano Sandrine Piau gives a Handel recital of rare brilliance here, choosing showstopping arias ranging from the dazzling "Disserratevi, o porte d'Averno" from La Resurrezione to the agony of Cleopatra's "Convey me to some peaceful shore" from Alexander Balus. She is accompanied by the delightfully feisty Accademia Bizantina who enjoy tracks of their own, including the most ferocious "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" you're ever likely to hear."

-- Stephen Pritchard, The Observer, 09/20/2009
