This piece has the most heroic style in all of music, it is far by my favourite opera🥰👍
Another superb recording from the much missed Alan Curtis.
Can't take it away from Handel -- I listened to this while hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes were raining down ...
Fantastic opera! Duetto "Son nata" just SUPERB duette!!!!
An excellent recording with fine soloists. Bravo Curtis bravissimo Handel!
Jamais imaginei-me curtindo música clássica, muito menos ópera mas, olha, estou aprendendo...
I am a fan of Mozart's Opera but Giulio Cesare is beyond words... Absolute beauty in each note, bar, word. Handel was a monster. Especially Cara speme, questo core and Va tacito e nascosto.
This is one of those works that continues to reveal its beauty the more you listen to it
For me, Giulio Cesare is the best serious Opera in history. It is a masterpiece from the overture to the final chorus.
The greatest composer of Italian music is Handel. Handel and Mozart were 19 years old who composed what? Handel "Almira" and Mozart "La finta giardiniera". In the context of that time, Handel's Almira was a real musical bomb, surpassing all other composers by many steps; in it he "announced" the program of his future operas and oratorios. Mozart's "La finta giardiniera" (January 13, 1775) was a "creative repair" - Pasquale Anfossi's opera "La finta giardiniera", in 1773, was performed in Rome, then with the same success, with many reruns, in all Italian cities , then Paris and other big cities of Europe. The consequence of the creation of the "nation" cult, for example, was the struggle of German music against "Italianism". The cult of Raffaello in painting - he sought the opposite - now the cult of Mozart in music is being created. Russian artists influenced by German Romanticism helped solidify the cult of Mozart; and most of all Pushkin's "little tragedy" "Mozart and Salieri" in 1831, about the genius and poisoner Salieri. Only in the 21st century do we know...for example, and Anfosi's influence on Mozart's work was recognize. Two important musicologists, Georges du Parc Poulain Saint-Foix and Theodor Vizeva, in their monumental monograph on Mozart in five volumes, make a detailed comparison between the score of Anfosi's La finta giardiniera and Mozart's. The two scholars note many similarities between the two works, noting that Mozart often followed the formal schemes of Anfosius's work and even adopted his rhythmic invention. This work is also mentioned in the essay "Italian Music in the Eighteenth Century" edited by Roberto Zanetti for the publisher Bramante. Zanetti adds: "on the other hand, Mozart generally adopted what is considered a characteristic of Anfosius' operas, that is, the division of the aria into two parts, of different tempo and rhythm," which is usually attributed to Mozart.
MAGNIFICENT IMMORTAL VOICES COMING FROM HEAVEN.

Giulio Cesare is the best serious opera in history. It is a masterpiece from the overture to the final chorus. The music is exquisite. Handel with this work is the greatest of all.

This is arguably Handel's best opera (it was the first I heard -- so, so long ago!). From the very opening chords one knows one is in for a real treat! It's simply a tour d' force. Thank you 'TH-cam' for publishing it here.
There are so many contenders for the title of 'Best Händel Opera': Partenope, Admeto, Rodelinda, Serse, Orlando, Alessandro, Rinaldo, Teseo, Giustino, Agrippina, Tamerlano, Radamisto...the list is large. My candidate is Alcina. Like Giulio Cesare, it is a non-stop roller coaster ride of the finest melodies ever written. Unlike Cesare, however, there is no dead wood (Achilla, some of Sesto and Cornelia's music). Even the secondary characters in Alcina, like Oronte and Oberto, get fabulous tunes.
I have to agree with you about the magnificent 'treasury' (forgive the rather unsuitable collective noun I use for more than one 'Opera"!) Handel has bequeathed to us. You're correct, I'd say, about 'Julio Cesare' - from the opening chords of the work we're left in no doubt that we're in for a real treat!
As for specific pieces in 'Handelian' opera (the 'Treasury" is so full) I find that Oronte's aria "Un momento di contento", sung by Timothy Robinson in the "Les Arts Florrisants" production by the late Wm. Christie, is breath-takingly moving. Amongst the 'doyens' there may some who, perhaps, would not consider Robinson as being amongst the very "best" of tenors, yet to me, he delivers "Un momento" so movingly that every time I hear it my eyes are wet! @@jasonhurd4379
@@pengellifachisaffaenor4489 I am astonished! When I mentioned Oronte having great tunes, Un momento di contento is the very aria I was thinking of! And I have precisely the same reaction to it that you do. Its atmosphere of bittersweet melancholy never fails to make me weep. It is one of the few Händel arias in which the instrumental accompaniment is even more ravishing than the vocal line. Truly a pearl amongst the precious stones that make up that glorious opera.
What a remarkable coincidence regarding the effect which Oronte's aria ("Un Momento di Contento') from 'Alcina' has on you! Yes, the opening instrumental chords of the piece grip our emotions immediately. A real delight. And, yes, I do agree with your placing of 'Alcina' as being the foremost contender as the 'best' of Handel's operas. There are, nevertheless, individual gems of arias, from all of Handel's operas, which contend with each other for the accolade of "Best Aria"! Even so my favourite aria (if, indeed, it's possible to claim such a thing) is 'Alcina's' - Un Momento di Contento. @@jasonhurd4379
@@pengellifachisaffaenor4489 Only one number from Händel's operatic oeuvre affects me similarly: Consolati, o bella/Gentil pastorella, the trio which closes Act I of Orlando. If you don't yet know it, here it is:

Can't wait for real baroque bands like this one to record new albums with new generation singers who know where to *add* vibrato. Instrumental part was on point!!!!
The whole act 2 is absolutely stunning. No words to describe its Beauty.
Bravo!!!
Bravi!

Ah, my absolute favorite beginning at 1:18:29. Superb!
How very interesting we were so affected by the same section - I visited these comments just after listening to that same part. It gave me shivers it was so lovely...
La mia opera di Haendel favorita. Curtis e questi cantanti sono eccellenti. Fra tanti versioni che ho sentito...questo e' le piu bella.... dopo, certo, quella di Beverly Sills. Meravigliosa. La ascoltero' spesso in futuro.
Una de las óperas más bellas de Händel
Después de Alcina, es mi preferida.
En mi caso prefiero los oratorios. Pero entre sus óperas mis favoritas son Rinaldo y esta.
elle est vraiment genial ta video mon ami
Какой шикарный музыкальный слух и голос у Мари Николь божественный🌠❤️
magnifica interpretación, me falta esta opera en mi colección de CD
❤
La más sublime Opera de Haendel.....🙌🏻
La opera seria más sublime de la historia. La mejor, según mi opinión.
Excelente
в этом году исполняется 300 лет написания оперы. Юбилей!
✨✨✨✨💖💖💖
Dès la première mesure, le géantissime Haendel nous emporte au paradis
Madre mía, q maravilla
Act 1 ends actually on track 2 of what's labeled Act 11. Son nata lagrima, the duet between Sesto and Cornelia is the real end of Act l in every version I've ever seen or heard. But aside from that cavil the performance is excellent. I'm a huge fan of La Gauvin; and Basso's Cornelia is heart-breaking.

Hannibal Lecture is the first thing I think of when I listen to to Handel which the battle never ends I am the writer of these Iwas using people like BMG and readers digest to or a comic strip
Meme si on est drogué à la version de Jacobs , on ne peut etre indifferent à celle ci . un magnifique travail ciselé de la part du chef et de merveilleux interpretes surtout sesto et cornelia sans parlet de Nicole Lemieux qui fait ce qu'elle veut avec sa voix ;;;oui vraiment une tres belle alternative à Minkowski et Jacobs . merci beaucoup pour cette mise en lgne .
Esta pieza musical , simplemente sublime, nos remite a océanos en el tiempo, un aquí, un mañana, un ayer, una temporalidad lujosisima , propia de los cesares. Sara Lasso

mmmmmmmm René Jacobs n à qu'à bien se tenir...voila une version du Jules César plus qu'honorable...lumineux profond juste ce qu' il faut de mélancolie et de tendresse.Mr Curtis vous êtes parti trop tôt.
No comment
Sublime....1:27:53... 2:47:20
The second one is Aria: "Piangero la sorte mia
" by Karina Gauvin, soprano (Cleopatra)
Essential Classical ... Thanks a lot! . I had played many baroque arias, but the "big bear" is the big master.... Excellent Chanel, I had subscribed already...👍🏼
@@paulsebio Thanks for your kind words and subscribing too! Don't forget to share it with family and friends.
why was "Chi perde un momento" cut out?
Yes, Well noticed! This TH-cam posting is still really good in all other respects . . .I'm sure you'd agree!?
I think Handel added that in the 1725 version, but this is the original 1724 version.
Is this performance complete ie "uncut?"

Gekauft!

Why are they using vibrato in a baroque composition? It’s Handel not Puccini.
why not..
No
In Handel's time they did use vibrato. These roles were for the best singers in Europe, castratis. To sing in gigantic theaters they had to have vibrato as it increased vocal power. It is opera, not a religious cantata.
أنا أسمع كلمة شتور اللبنة اللبنانية😂
Too many ads..
Don't let this put you off this brilliant opera - try Giulio Cesare. Mijanović, Kožená, von Otter, Hellekant, Minkowski
Marie-Nicole: Actually it's. "P-R-E-S-T-I O-M-A-I ... V-I-N-C-I-T-O-R". Not whatever you said... Now I understand the why of those strict procedures from a lot Italian people claiming good pronunciation about how their Tongue must be done.
So you're teaching her? You're a joke

Mai musica si bella udì orecchio umano
Much of this singing is---in terms of textual expression---absurdly overwrought.
These singers have uncontrolled, breathy techniques, generally.
Such a great opera, though, of course. A lot of weak singers 'hide' in early music.
If commentators here this this is stellar singing.........
Carolyn Samspon - yes weak? Catherine Bott - yes weak? Yes Ian Bostridge weak? Anthony Rolfe Johnson weak? You know nothing.
Some of the worst "singing" I've ever heard at 12:15. Just simply unlistenable.
