Awards and reviews

September 2011

Florio's live recording...is sharply characterised. Oboe, recorder and trumpet obbligato solos are vivacious, while the gut strings have home-spun warmth and provide an energetic bass-line for the monster Polifemo's flat-footed seductions and precipitous rages...Abete's gnarled cyclops is a fearsome, reckless thing, but mezzo-soprano Sara Mingardo's Galatea and soprano Ruth Rosique's Aci never lose their poise.
