Synopsis

Album Description
"Julius Caesar" is the most famous and popular of Handel's many operas. In fact, for a long time it was the only one surviving in the repertoire, and brilliant productions of it in the 1960s were responsible for inciting interest in other Handel operas. Giulio Cesare contains perhaps a greater variety of beautiful arias and choruses than any other Handel opera, and has one of the best plots. This 1989 recording stars contralto Martine Dupuy, very famous in France but little known in the Western hemisphere. She made a sterling reputation in Baroque opera as well as the opere serie of Rossini, in which she has been adjudged incomparable.

Short meeting of the opera Gulio Cesare, G.F.Handel, Nuove E
Der Händelfan | Herford | 09/16/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I would not at all like to question the performances of the protagonists, conductor, soloist, orchestras, choir. There absolutely are beautiful moments. However, the Sound is partly bad or very bad. For a couple of dollar more, however, the buyer gets a considerably better quality. If the price, however, should be atraktiv very much, a purchase is nevertheless possible. The booklet is beautifully arranged and there are some beautiful pictures of the brilliant George Frideric trade. My evaluation 2.4 stars of 5 stars. Uwe from Herford/Westfalen Germany."
