'The recorded sound mixes bloom and transparency perfectly, and if Charivari prefer to emphasise the intimacy of their playing at the expense of sonic energy, that presumably is their choice. Perhaps none of these concerto rarities will set the pulse racing but, lovingly unearthed by this enterprising little orchestra, they do indeed provide much to interest the curious-at-heart' (Gramophone)

'Concerti Curiosi builds on the popularity of Charivari Agréable's recent recording of "Pachelbel's Vespers", the period ensemble here turning its attention to assembling a range of concerti by lesser-known composers of the Baroque era. The highlight is Pietro Domenico Paradies' aptly-titled A Favourite Concerto, a delightful harpsichord piece that affords the ensemble's director Kah-Ming Ng full rein to display his keyboard prowess. Soloist Jamie Savan is similarly dazzling on the two cornett concerti, by Pietro Baldassari and polymath Johan Daniel Berlin, of which the latter's Sinfonia à 5 offers an intriguing blending of the cornett's neat, upright tone with the droney textures of strings and harpsichord' (The Independent)

'As its name suggests, this is a real cabinet of curiosities—rarely heard but charming concerti by the smaller stars of the baroque firmament, played with energy and flair by the multi-talented soloists of the Oxford-ased Charivari Agréable (or 'pleasant tumult'). Composer Pietro Domenico Paradies’ A Favourite Concerto provides a fine vehicle for director Kah-Ming Ng to impress at the harpsichord, but it is Jamie Savan’s cool, straight tone on the cornett that stands out, both in Pietro Baldassari’s Sonata for cornett and strings and in Johan Daniel Berlin’s Sinfonia à 5' (The Times)
