Handel's Acis & Galatea - Dunedin Consort - Financial Times

This recording will win new friends for Handel's 1718 masque ahead of the Royal Opera's new production in March. The performance, by an unstarry yet sparkling cast conducted by John Butt, is stylistically up-to-the-minute, but what counts is its joyous spirit and the way it matches the high level of Handel's inspiration. Such radiant music-making is an ideal hors d'oeuvre for the upcoming Handel year.
