This is an excellent recording of Handel's "other" Acis -- an Italian cantata he composed during a visit to Naples ten years before he wrote the more famous English masque Acis and Galatea. Emmanuelle Haïm and Le Concert d'Astrée play with pathos, imagination, and impeccable style, never forgetting that, in a work for such intimate forces, maintaining musical momentum and variety is the key to success. Sandrine Piau (Aci), Sara Mingardo (Galatea), and Laurent Naouri (Polifemo) are perfectly cast; Piau's crystalline soprano and Mingardo's warm, full-bodied mezzo blend wonderfully in their duets, sounding as if they have sung together for years, and both of them deliver spectacular solo moments. Naouri steals the show as the blustering, yet still pathetic, Polifemo simply by negotiating the super-human vocal demands of Handel's score. The extremes of range -- sometimes traversing two and a half octaves between consecutive notes -- are extraordinary, and Naouri handles them capably, stylishly, and expressively. -- Allen Schrott
