«Acis and Galatea» (A Masque in Two Acts) is the album by George Frideric Handel with The Scholars Baroque Ensemble, released in 1998 by Naxos on CD.
George Frideric Handel's masque in two acts recreates the love between the shepherd Acis and the nymph Galatea, cut short by the jealousy of the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Scholars Baroque Ensemble performs «Acis and Galatea» on period instruments with historically informed criteria, with a marked contrast between the pastoral and the dramatic.
Directed by David van Asch, with Kym Amps, Robin Doveton and Angus Davidson. A single disc, catalogue number 8.553188; DDD recording at All Saints' Church, East Finchley.
Suitable for fans of Baroque music and historically informed performances of Handel.
