'In John Hajdu Heyer's admirably edited volume we have abundant detail, much of which is very revealing … the student and interested listener will glean much from John S. Powell's lively study of Lully and Moliere's involvement with the pastoral divertisment … these Lully studies add much to our understanding of him and his world.' Jan Smaczny, BBC Music Magazine
