“a performance which mixes sumptuousness and refinement with impeccable poise and style… Watts is as authoritative and compelling a Bach soprano as you will find anywhere today… A most rewarding and satisfying disc in which an excellent band of players under a superb director are crowned by a voice of real magic.”

Marc Rochester, International Record Review, February 2011

and for Artaxerxes too…

“The Soldier tir’d… is resplendently delivered by Elizabeth Watts.”

George Hall, BBC Music Magazine
