Taking a brief summer respite from his busy Roman sojourn, Handel travelled further south to Naples from May to July 1708, where he was commissioned to write Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, a serenata for the wedding of Duke d’Alvito and Beatrice di Sanseverino. A small, intimate opera for three voices and orchestra without chorus, the work is distinguished by the variety of its instrumental accompaniment, which includes oboes, recorders and trumpets in addition to strings and basso continuo. The sung arias and recitatives are not to be outdone, taking us from the most languorous sighs to the most extreme virtuosity. We welcome for the first time the award-winning Italian conductor and harpsichordist Francesco Corti, principal guest conductor of the orchestra il Pomo d’Oro.

Prenant un bref répit estival de son séjour romain fort occupé, Handel se rend plus au sud à Naples de mai à juillet 1708, où on lui avait commandé Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, une serenata pour les noces du duc d’Alvito et de Beatrice di Sanseverino. S’agissant d’un petit opéra intime, à trois voix et orchestre sans chœur, l’œuvre se distingue par la variété de son accompagnement instrumental où l’on retrouve, outre les cordes et la basse continue, hautbois, flûtes à bec et trompettes. Les airs et récitatifs chantés ne sont pas en reste, nous menant des soupirs les plus langoureux à la virtuosité la plus extrême. Nous accueillons pour la première fois le chef et claveciniste italien primé Francesco Corti, chef invité principal de l’orchestre il Pomo d’Oro.
