"Attentive, loving, sophisticated accounts of the ultimate peak of the trio sonata genre.
With their boldness of invention, their expressive range and their extraordinary variety of three-part textures, Handel’s six Op 2 sonatas represent to my mind the ultimate peak of the trio sonata as a genre. Yet for some time there has been no complete recording of the set in the catalogue. Monica Huggett and her colleagues fill the gap admirably. These are polished and sophisticated performances, with much exquisitely turned detail, precisely echoed between the two violinists, who play as if identical twins. There is a great deal of subtle timing, graceful shaping...and delicately moulded detail...you won’t often hear this music more attentively, more lovingly played."
- Stanley Sadie, GRAMOPHONE
