Rezensionen

"These young singers and a period-instrument orchestra deliver uniformly superb interpretations." Gramophone

"Classical Opera’s polished début in Apollo et Hyacinthus proved a pearl beyond price. Here was a work of

staggering beauty." Opera

"Much of the delight came from the discovery of Sophie Bevan, a soprano who, despite her youth, has the

richness of tone and command of vocal gesture of a singer at the peak of her powers." The Guardian
