Gramophone

'Montague makes a splendid effect in this part. She sings handsomely, with true brio in Abenamet's newly written, Rossinian cavatina and cabaletta, and comes together with Ford's Almuzir in a freshly composed and finely written Prison scene that both artists make the most of.

Altogether, both Montague's and Ford's contributions to this substantial appendix are as good a reason as any for investing in this extended enterprise.'
