[edit]- ^ BBC music magazine - Volume 14, Page 78 British Broadcasting Corporation - 2006 "Francoise Lasserre's ensemble Akademia presents a very different account of Combattimento. If the chiaroscuro of Antonacci's account could be likened to a black and white film, then Akademia's performance is in glorious technicolor."
