Handel: Acis and Galatea

Dawn Kotoski (Galatea), David Gordon (Acis), Glenn Siebert (Damon) & Jan Opalach (Polyphemus)

Schwarz's 1991 Seattle Acis is disciplined but passe in sound, style and rhythmic gait. It skimps on Handelian delight, though its soloist quartet is decent. — BBC Music Magazine, September 2012, 2 out of 5 stars
