Selected reviews

Johann Adolf Hasse: Marc’Antonio e Cleopatra (GRAMMY Nominee for Best Opera 2011)

“Dirst leads a disciplined, well-balanced performance…fluent and poised.”
—Fanfare

“a thrilling performance that glows in its quieter moments and sparkles with vitality.”
—Early Music America

“exquisite.”
—American Record Guide

Domenico Scarlatti: La Dirindina

“This release should bring joy to any fan of Domenico Scarlatti. The three vocalists… are perfectly cast [and] the orchestra plays with engaging energy and dynamic contrast.”
—Early Music America

“The first note of Richard Savino’s mandolin blooming above the dulcet chords of the lute-stop of Dirst’s harpsichord brought a smile not just to my face, but also to my soul.”
—David Yearsley, CounterPunch

Alessandro Scarlatti: Euridice dall’Inferno / La Concettione della Beata Vergine

“sensitive…excellent, impressive.”
—Early Music America

“The continuo group plays with sensitivity and Melissa Givens gives an impassioned performance of strongly characterized and eloquent music.”
—Gramophone
