Review:
"Certainly, Ferruccio Furlanetto's Filippo on its own would suffice to merit the release of the DVDs. He captures brilliantly both the tyrannical control and the heartbreaking disappointment of this monarch. Furlanetto's voice is an intrinsically emotional instrument in the hands of a master; Filippo's 'Ella giammai m'amò' is nothing short of perfection, and elsewhere Furlanetto is riveting as well." - Opera News, April 2010
