Emmanuelle Haim: Handel: Aci Galatea E Polifemo – COMPACT DISCS

Emmanuelle Haïm TITLE: Handel: Aci, Galatea e Polifemo (2CD) – Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, an unstaged serenata composed for a ducal wedding in Naples in 1708, is not to be confused with the slightly more operatic Acis and Galatea, written in London in 1718. Both adapt a tale from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the Italian work is bolder in conception and far more virtuosic than it’s English pastoral counterpart and features some of Handel’s finest arias Units Per Set: 2
