Un concert à domicile. oubliez la théorie des passions, oubliez la science des métaphores, la rhétorique expressive. Baryton, claviériste et harpiste, Nicolas Achten aborde Purcell comme il aborderait Cabrel ou Brassens, accompagnant lui-même une voix modeste, sans volume ni effort.
(Ivan A. Alexandre, Diapason, september 2013, p. 105-106)
The idea is that of Scherzi Musicali's director Nicolas Achten, who is not only the baritone in question but also the keyboard player and harpist, and the only person to appear on all 22 tracks. His sound is on the tenorish side of things, and both he and tenor Reinhoud Van Mechelen have the kind of keen tonal focus and textual sympathy that can draw out the anguish in such numbers as 'O Solitude' [...]. Indeed, these are performances that prove that you don't have to be one of Purcell's compatriots to realise his genius with real heart and understanding.
(Lindsay Kemp, Gramophone, oktober 2013, p. 85-87)
