'The musical rewards in this dramma are plentiful. There is refreshing variety among the generous sequence of arias. Many of them are rhythmically engaging, and Scarlatti's lively responses to textual images are affecting. Indeed, on this showing it is surprising that the work is nowadays so little known.' Nicholas Anderson
