“Boult's leisurely pace for the Sinfonia and tender shaping of "Heart, O seat of soft delight" are immaculate, Peter Pears's delivery of Acis's death scene is movingly delivered… and Joan Sutherland's best singing here is silvery, limpid, more convincing than any of her other Handel performances on disc.”

“Sutherland in fresh, youthful voice makes a splendid Galatea, sparkling in the florid passages, warmly sympathetic in the lyrical music. Peter Pears, too, is at his finest...while Owen Brannigan was surely born to play Polyphemus...Boult's sympathetic direction ensures that the music-making has a lift throughout.”
