Acis y Galatea (20 to 25 of 25)

The CD is not available on the market so I thought to upload it and give people a chance to listen it. If there are some copyright problems, I'll not hesitate to remove the videos.

Theoretical, Acis should be interpreted by a countertenor but it is very nice with mezzo soprano. :)

"De Literes' Acis is a characterful alternative to the French, Italian and English versions with a vivid portrayal of the grotesquely libidinous Polyphemus. The group's exuberance sometimes strays into rhythmic chaos but the delicious laments of lead sopranos Lola Casariego and Marta Almajano offset the castanet-heavy dances perfectly." - The Independent (London), Mar 25, 2001 by Anna Picard
