'Even after 17 years this performance still dazzles. Significantly, no other group has touched the cantata since the disc was made. One can understand why: its charms would be hard to match. A celebration of Handel’s youthful genius, this recording fully deserves its reissue' (International Record Review)

'A suitably pastoral cantata, it depicts the shepherd Aminta’s wooing of the initially reluctant nymph in a series of charming arias' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The two singers are superb… The purity of their voices, the splendid intonation and the secure high notes are worthy of our sincere admiration' (www.musicweb.uk.net)

'Outstanding' (The Guardian)

'Strongly recommended' (Gramophone)
