"A Classic!"
Chiara Sirk - Bacheca - September 2011
"Cellist Mauro Valli and his accompanists (Tiziano Bagnati, lute and Ottavio Dantone, harpsichord) have made some executive decisions that impact positively on the performances. The members of Accademia Bizantina really get inside these pices to provide a compelling musical experience. Again, superb engineering - the Arts Music label seems to specialize in applying SACD recording technique to the benefit of soloists and small ensembles: the Accademia Bizantina fills the listening room with beguiling musical sounds. Heartily recommended!"

"Startling chamber music played to the fullest of Scarlatti’s intentions: each bar is loaded with intensity, dynamic range and passion. The performers find delirious glee even in monor key movements, and in major keys, like Number 3, the delirium becomes indescribably delicious. Also, don’t forget, you heard it here first: Cello Sonata Numer 3 belongs on every cellists repertoire."
