«Belle réussite pour Bernard Labadie et ses Violons du Roy, qui ont concocté cet album au programme éclectique. L’auditeur déguste chaque morceau comme une friandise choisie à l’aveuglette dans une de ces boîtes de bonbons venus d’ailleurs […] absolument délectables. [Une] gâterie musicale préparée avec générosité par des musiciens accomplis.»
Pierre Dallaire, Le Soleil, Québec, 30 octobre 2010
“In truth the group produces some of the most enticing string sounds on CD. The best illustration of this is their 1999 recording of Vivaldi string concertos (Dorian 90255), unfortunately no longer available. I return to this disc often; it is simply one of the most gorgeous-sounding recordings of Vivaldi string music in my library. [...] The recorded sound is all that one could wish for: full-bodied yet realistic. If you are lacking any of these pieces in your library, this disc is the perfect way to acquire them. But I would urge you to check out some of the group’s other CDs on Atma, such as their stunning Water Music, or their jammin’ SACD of the music of Piazolla.” (disque Bonbons)
