"I really like the early-music crowd in Oslo Circles. They emphasize the rock in Baroque music. They take music history seriously, yet approach historically informed performance without pretension. Their recordings are fresh, entertaining, and just a little bit cheeky."

"Jeg liker tidligmusikkfolka i Oslo Circles. De vektlegger rocken/rokken i barokken. De tar musikkhistorien på alvor, men har likevel en ujålete tilnærming til historisk framføringspraksis. Platene deres er friske, underholdende og litt frekke."
