" ( Gramophone) ". . . it's an emotional edginess that makes Bartoli's performance of the cantata Arianna a Naxos so remarkable, an artist running to embrace danger you might say. . . The concert begins with Harnoncourt leading his own Vienna Concentus Music through a compelling. . . performance of Haydn's Oxford Symphony. As ever, it's orchestral balance and the carefully judged dynamics that make a Harnoncourt performance so gripping.
