BBC Music Magazine,
April 2010: Disc of the Month


Back to Bolivia for a collection that’s more entertaining and engaging than ever. Florilegium plays some chamber instrumental work with customary finesse… There isn’t a dull moment during the disc’s hour-long duration, and plenty of musical subtleties and novelties to intrigue the ear.
Gramophone, May 2010


If you’re looking for music to restore your faith in what’s good in life, look no farther. Florilegium’s pioneering Bolivian Baroque series contains some of the most delightful music I’ve heard in many a year... the directness of their approach, and the purity of their sound, transmits a youthful freshness that never fails to captivate.
San Francisco Classical Voice, 23 Feb 2010


All forces here are equally attuned to the spirit of the music… Heartily recommended as a nice change of pace to any baroque collection of sacred—and sometimes borderline sacred—music.
Audiophile Audition, 17 Feb 2010


The instrumental items,... played here with flute and violin sharing the upper parts, the light, melodious charm of the music is beautifully released. The Arakaendar Bolivia Choir is faultlessly neat and crisp, rhythmically very regular, but dramatically irrepressible…
Enriching and uplifting.
