“L'Arpeggiata's performances are always technically impeccable, heartfelt and often rather beautiful. But here, as with their 2006 album, Los Impossibles, I find several compositions and arrangements a touch too slick. There are some considerable pleasures, though, including Lincoln's Almada's exuberant arpa llanera...and some fine singing, not least from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2012 ****
“This may be a crossover disc, but it offers a fascinating fusion of early European and Latin American music, in what Pluhar, its director-theorbist, calls “South America’s living baroque”...If Philippe Jaroussky sounds out of place, the earthy, sensual vocalists Lucilla Galeazzi and Luciana Mancini are the real deal.” Sunday Times
