In 1717, in addition to writing operas for the London theaters, Handel went to work for the Duke of Chandos at Cannons, his splendid country house in Middlesex, north of London. Here he wrote a magnificent set of anthems for his employer, now known as the Chandos Galatea, to a libretto by John Gay. This was produced at Cannons in 1718. It tells the usual shepherd-meets-shepherdess story, with the difference that the shepherd Acis is killed by a rock, thrown by the jealous one-eyed, Cyclops Polyphemus, and transformed, in the manner of Classical mythology, into a limpid stream. Polyphemus' lustful song 'O ruddier than the cherry' quickly became drawing-room standard and is still a favourite with basses today, a magically conceived aria in this pastoral mini-tragedy.
Polyphemus sings:
"O ruddier than the cherry,
O sweeter than the berry,
O nymph more bright
Than moonshine night,
Like kidlings blithe and merry.
Ripe as the melting cluster,
No lily has such lustre;
Yet hard to tame
As raging flame,
And fierce as storms that bluster!
O ruddier. . . da capo"
David van Asch, bass

I can personally guarantee that this video offers the best quality available of all her performances on Youtube - just make sure you watch it in 1080p or 720p. I've taken the time and effort to provide fans and viewers the cleanest picture and crispest sound possible. Enjoy!
