5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTION essential recording, September 13, 2006

By 

Marcolorenzo (Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handel: Acis & Galatea (Audio CD)

Essential recording of a Handel masterpiece. This is what Baroque music making should always be. I am not always completely convinced by Gardiner's handling of things when it comes to Handel and Bach but here everything is perfect. I'd give it ten stars if I could. This performance has now been surpassed by the Christie recording of this work. [ASIN:B00001SIBI Handel - Acis and Galatea / Daneman, Petibon, Agnew, Cornwell, A.

4.0 out of 5 stars Norma Burrowes!, December 26, 2003

By 

Adele (Overland Park, Kansas.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handel: Acis & Galatea (Audio CD)

Norma Burrowes - beautiful voice. She has an excellent light sound for this type of music. The other singers are good but she's the best on here, I think. I just wish there where some sound clips so the public could hear how beautiful this CD is! In other news I wish Norma Burrowes would cut another disc!
