The original 91'40'' duration of the LPs is here reduced to 65'45'' by omitting many of the Renaissance items. Even years later, when interest in such things has slightly declined, one may welcome a cavalcade of short pieces (the longest is 4'18'') when the programme is so imaginatively constructed (rightly praised by DA in his original reviews) and the performances are by players who were no longer struggling to master early instruments—Konrad Ragossnig plays the lute but the booklet shows him holding a guitar! The (pre-digital) LP sound was first rate; that of the CD is even better.'

Aris Christofellis is one of the underlined countertenors in the range of male soprano of the late XX century. As singer, he has been broadly acclaimed, specially for his roles in the late baroque opera. As a musicologist he is very entusiastic in bringing to life ulterior works regarding baroque opera.
