The recording of Charpentier's opera La Descente d'Orphée aux Enfers and La Couronne de Fleurs received the Grammy Award for the Best Opera Production in February 2015 and recently won the Klassik-Echo 2015, again for the Best Opera Recording of the Year. Prior to this double success, other productions by cpo and BEMF had been nominated for Gramophone Awards. In the category of the Best Opera Production these were Ariadne by Johann Georg Conradi and Thésée and Psyché by Jean-Baptiste Lully. In addition, Thésée and Psyché received nominations in the category honoring Baroque Vocal Works. Now the American ensemble has joined forces with successful soloists like Aaron Sheehan and Teresa Wakim for our production of Handel's opera Acis and Galatea in the version of 1718, which was composed for the landed estate of the Earl of Carnarvon and does not recycle music from the earlier version. Both Acis and Galatea and the cantata Sarei troppo felice heard here represent decisive turning points in Handel's career. The Italian cantata came at the beginning of the one and half decades spent by Handel in the service of various patrons. Acis and Galatea marks the highpoint of this phase and therefore, like the cantata before it, clearly renders recognizable the musical means available to him in the private ensembles of his employers. Moreover, Acis and Galatea contains the musical and textual seeds of the English oratorio, which after 1742 completely supplanted opera compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Sinfonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Oh, The Pleasures Of The Plain (Chorus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Accompagnato: Ye Verdant Plains (Galatea)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Aria: Hush, Ye Pretty Warbling Quire (Galatea)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Aria: Where Shall I Seek The Charming Fair (Acis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Recitative: Stay, Shepherd, Stay (Damon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Aria: Shepherd, What Art Thou Pursuing (Damon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcis And Galatea, Hwv 49, Act I: Act I: Recitative: Lo!
