Notes & Reviews:

Since the death of her son, the world has sought to praise the Blessed Mother through song - and now, thanks to the efforts of Rinaldo Alessandrini and his Concerto Italiano, comes the single greatest compilation of Marian music. This work, spanning three centuries, ties together great works; such as, 'Magnificat', the Litanies and the popular, 'Salve Regina'.

International Record Review
What ultimately makes these disparate stylistic strands meld so effectively together is the loving care and sense of unity Alessandrini himself brings to these performances. They are poised, elegant and generously spaced and, with the excellent voices of Concerto Italiano as well as a very warm and atmospheric recording from Naive, this disc may not quite fulfil some expectations, but it more than compensates by offering up many profoundly rewarding musical surprises.

Sunday Times
Scarlatti's superb Salve Regina setting is full of crunching, expressive harmonies; Alessandro Melani's setting of the same text is effectively arrayed for solo soprano and eight-part choir.
