"Currently, there are two excellent 5* reviews of this recording and a 3* recording which is hard to understand - I'm not going to repeat the superlative comments made already by the two reviewers who seem to really appreciative the performances of these two phenomenal experienced period Baroque violinists. But, just for another excellent review, check out the comments on MusicWeb International:
Not sure that I like the new 'spiky doo' on Mullova (compared to some older recordings of her that I own), but hey I'm just listening! If you're a Vivaldi fan, this disc should be at least heard if not purchased."
Pure beauty

"This prestigious recording is one of the highlights of the year, so far. It should be capable of attracting our children to classical music. Sound and performance are highly remarkable and just beautiful!"
First rate

"If there is a better version of these beautiful pieces out there, I have not heard it. A wonderfully up-lifting piece of music."
A delicious match

"I recently acquired this recording. Each time I listen to it I enjoy it more. It is not possible to fully appreciate it in one sitting. I have quite a few Vivaldi recordings but this one is quickly moving nearer to the top of my favorites. Carmignola and Mullova complement each other very well."
