'...This collection of cantatas and theater music is simply stunning—rarely do we hear a composer of that age who even comes close to what Mozart was doing, but if any can make that claim, Linley certainly can… the freshness and invention—will strike you over and over…These period performances are sterling in concept and execution, and Hyperion’s midprice Helios label makes them almost irresistible' (Audiophile, USA)
