‘Unashamedly fine performances. The recorded sound and balance is masterful, and I can happily recommend this to Handelians (even if the music is by someone else) and chamber music fans alike. It's a real pleasure’ (Early Music Review)
‘Attractive and well-written works, definitely worth recording … The performances are vivacious and stylish. Hyperion's recording is excellent, and this fascinating disc should appeal to anyone with a taste for the byways of the Baroque’ (International Record Review)
‘A thoroughly enjoyable disc … Adelina Oprean plays with flair and style, adding her own cadenzas (quite tastefully) and holding her own against competition from a number of better-known violinists. The European Union Chamber Orchestra plays very well for her, and the recorded sound is excellent’ (American Record Guide)
‘The playing is stylish and imaginative, the "clock" movement is beautifully paced and the balance of instruments is excellent, allowing the continuo fortepiano not just to fill in, but to make a distinct difference to the sonority’ (Classic CD)
‘Roy Goodman's Haydn series with the Hanover Band has been an unmitigated pleasure. This is vital and energetic Haydn playing where clarity and crispness are allied to a real flair for capturing the musical character of each movement. These endlessly imaginative performances are among the best of all period-instrument Haydn’ (International Record Review)
‘Immensely inventive works that, had there not been another hundred to follow, every music-lover would know and which would be widely performed and recorded’ (Early Music Review)
