“Italian Baroque wind ensemble Zefiro play beautifully and programme thoughtfully...The versatile Gemma Bertagnolli sings stylishly in three languages...[her] palpitations in the first vocal phrase are emotive, and her embellishments during "Ho tanti affetti" are beguiling.”

“Ensemble Zefiro highlights the oboe. Their playing is delightfully alert in allegros, raptly expressive in the slow movements. The largo of the G minor trio is a highlight. Bertagnolli enchants in Mi palpita il cor”
