"The overall effect is both stunning and revelatory, an authoritative reminder of the quality of Cavalli’s sacred music, so often overlooked in favour of his work for the stage. This is a major recording achievement, sensitively realized in a warmly resonant acoustic that could almost be St. Mark’s Basilica itself."
