Magdalena Kožená: Il giardino dei sospiri, 2019, Pentatone
Václav Luks and his Prague-based Collegium 1704 are exemplary collaborators, relishing the unexpectedly flighty, flirtatious string-writing of Vinci’s Sinfonia from Maria dolorata and the vivacious opening to the Marcello, always alive as accompanists to the shifting currents of these musical streams of consciousness. Alexandra Coghlan, gramophone.co.uk
Kožená’s tone is as effective as ever, tender or mercurial when called for, her ornaments projected with lovely spontaneity. Tal Agam, theclassicreview.com
