"The bite and clarity of the orchestral playing are revelatory...Once again, this greatest of operas amazes and beguiles. We scarcely need another recording...but this is one I would not willingly be without, especially because of the singers' expressive treatment of the libretto." (Sunday Telegraph)
"This new recording from harmonia Mundi is an excellent introduction to the work, and will be welcomed by seasoned collectors, as well. René Jacobs leads Concerto Koln in a stylish, spirited performance.
The entire HM package is a treasure - musically thrilling, intellectually stimulating, and best of all, genuinely entertaining." (Absolute Sound)
"Jacobs takes a strikingly original view of Cosi...he communicates his love of the work with sincerity and passion...a sparkling performance of this most radiant score." (BBC Music Magazine Top 50 CDs of 1999)
"The bite and clarity of the orchestral playing are revelatory...Once again, this greatest of operas amazes and beguiles. We scarcely need another recording...but this is one I would not willingly be without, especially because of the singers' expressive treatment of the libretto." (Sunday Telegraph)
"René Jacobs who conducts the superlative Concerto Köln on period instruments gives us a reading that is bouncy but firmly disciplined, sophisticated and yet never precious...This is a refreshingly young team with vocal means in plentiful supply...This is a magnificently recorded set with a fine balance between singers and orchestra...The CD-ROMS's architecture is ingenious and tasteful. From the audience noise before curtain up to the more arcane analysis towards the end, the voyage is illuminating...hugely entertaining." (Opera Now)
