It was selected as BBC Music Magazine’s Disc of

The sound is captivating – fresh-toned and inexhaustibly animated…
The music is totally absorbing from beginning to end.

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.
