"In this historiographical novelty, in the interest of music, of high level, the greatest attraction of this recording lies in the fidelity to the writing. (...) Letzbor and his ensemble—like countertenor Alois Mülhbacher— barely make remarkable artistic decisions beyond the will of the strict objectivism of serving the musical text; with pristine tuning and beautiful sound, well enhanced by the recording. (..) Disc for collectors and enthusiasts of the genre."

Scherzo, 01-4-2024
Surprisingly enough, these three cantatas 'per Contralto con Violini' have not yet been recorded, but now they have (finally!) done so, in excellent performances, in which the historical performance practice has clearly been the guiding principle.
Opus Klassiek, 01-4-2024
Alois Mühlbacher sings these laments expressively, with smooth tone and accurate semiquaver runs. (...) He is excellently supported by Ars Antiqua Austria: a special word of praise for the violinist Gunar Letzbor and the nice rubato on descending semiquavers that he introduces into the second aria of Sopra l'orme d'Irene.
Gramophone, 01-3-2024
In order to make the experimental Bononcini explode as a brilliant fireworker, some artist excellence is required. Sound homework that has been completed without errors is presented here. But nothing more.
Rondo Magazine, 27-1-2024
All recording premieres, chosen by violinist Gunar Letzbor, who sympathetically accompanies the soloist with his ensemble Ars Antiqua Austria.
De Volkskrant, 18-1-2024
The Ars Antiqua Austria ensemble under the direction of violinist Gunar Letzbor plays very energetically and accompanies Mühlbacher’s singing effectively.
