Our Take

In a world of auto-tune and overproduced beats, Handel's Acis & Galatea is a breath of fresh air. The DUNEDIN CONSORT, under the expert guidance of JOHN BUTT, breathe new life into this Baroque masterpiece. From the opening notes of "Overture," it's clear that this album is something special.

The Consort's attention to detail is impeccable, with each aria and recitative performed with precision and passion. Butt's direction is masterful, leading the ensemble with a light touch and a keen ear for balance. The result is a recording that feels alive and vibrant, capturing the essence of Handel's enchanting opera.

Acis & Galatea may be centuries old, but the DUNEDIN CONSORT makes it feel as fresh as tomorrow's headlines. Whether it's the haunting beauty of "Love in her Eyes" or the exuberant joy of "Happy We," this album is a true delight from start to finish. Handel would be proud.

So if you're in the mood for something a little different, a little quirky, and a whole lot of fun, look no further than the DUNEDIN CONSORT's Handel: Acis & Galatea. It's a musical journey unlike any other, and one you won't soon forget. Pitchfork Approved.
