"This superb recording is now my top recommendation for a period-instrument set of this music...In fact, after listening to the set again since writing the previous three sentences, I would say that this is my favorite complete set of these works on either period or modern instruments. This is one of those sets that I can hardly bring myself to remove from my CD player." —American Record Guide
