Press comments

FonoForum 11 / 05: "Unter der Stabführung von Rene Jacobs entwickelt das mit 40 Instrumentalisten üppig besetzte Concerto Köln einen teilweise sinfonischen Sound und verleiht der Musik eine fast szenische Plastizität. Das mehrkanalige Klangbild liefert mit seiner äußerst breiten und räumlichen Abbildung des musikalischen Geschehen den perfekten Rahmen." Stereo 11 / 05: "Jede Stimmung, jede Phrasierung, jede Klangfarbe und jede Wendung Händels: Concerto Köln trifft sie perfekt!"
