"Peter Whelan is a virtuoso bassoonist...Simon Munday proves an impeccable trumpeter...With five 'first recordings', this is not to be missed." (BBC Music)

"a delightful vignette of 18th-century Venetian nightlife...Lawson is, in turn, a gondola-borne singer...equally at home in the simplest syllabic songs, genlte cantabile and, at the end, a sparkling Vivaldi duet di agilita with trumpet. Peter Whelan is a virtuoso bassoonist...Simon Munday proves an impeccable trumpeter...With five 'first recordings', this is not to be missed." (BBC Music)

"This exploration of early-18th-century Venice functions cleverly on several levels. Time-travelling grand tourists are invited to spend an imaginary evening travelling around La Serenissima's diverse musical attractions...and sensing some of the different types of public music the city has to offer...Peter Whelan's feats of technical agility are astonishing." (Gramophone)
