5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic recording of a classic score., 8 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This CD is one of the best versions I have heard of this particular opera. Having taken the lead role of Galatea in an amateur performance of Acis and Galatea, I am extemely familiar with the score. The vocal parts are challenging but once mastered,compliment the excellent orchestral score. The performers have both competently and delightfully captured the spirit of the opera, bringing the story to life with emotion and passion. Handel's typical complicated runs and sustained notes are mastered by the performers, particulaurly the soprano part in many of her arias. The orchestra is amazing, supporting the vocalists whilst holding its own. The recording is one of the best English recordings around, in terms of both quality and musicality of the performers and score. A true delight to all opera lovers and those who enjoy Handel's work.
