'The Locatelli Trio rises brilliantly to the challenge... they convey great passion and warmth. Wallfisch is outstanding and the engineers have captured the balance perfectly' (Classic CD)

'Performances which compel us to listen, not merely to marvel at the virtuosity' (Gramophone)

'Recommended? You bet! Get it now before the Tartini boom begins' (Fanfare, USA)

'This is without question one of the finest records of baroque music ever issued! … a revelation... enthralling and hugely important. A wonderful issue' (CDReview)

'My CD of the year … 'Elizabeth Wallfisch's technical prowess makes all these sonatas sound easy - which they are not - and leaves room for innumerabe expressive nuances. Both this and a second collection of later sonatas are discs to treasure and enjoy through many a repeated listening' (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)
