I listened to all interpretations of Giulio Cesare I could get my hands on - Mr. Scholl , you are just the best. It's not just the voice and impeccable delivery, it is the your brain - you hear fine things which are not on the music sheet and grant us the favor of listening them through your voice.
After Ombra Mai Fu, this is another fantastic, audibaly supreme interpretation of this aria by maestro Andreas Scholl. Thanks for the upload. The horn is heavenly .
This is far and away the best conducted version of this piece I have heard. The piece seems to demand a lively treatment, and both the orchestra and Scholl certainly deliver it.
@@dantegabrielittesor4483 Indeed, as he often did. He wrote for specific singers, and knew their voices well. Those low notes should be the strongest part of the voice.
I've just listened to several different performances of this aria (including Glyndebourne and the Met, which appear to be the same production), this is much the best - and also the longest and the most elaborate.
This Aria, so exquisitely performed by Herr Scholl, is full of such bittersweet memories for me! I was studying Music Theory at university over the summer break, and the selfish boyfriend I'd just had a glorious short time with after a 12-month courtship decided he'd rather screw the world and travelled interstate just to break the news. How kind! Needless to say, I fell apart and my BMus never really recovered on top of my mother's near death and my intended husband's interstate suicide a year prior. I say these things for context, not for pity. Listening to this heavenly music before most things went so wrong is such a comfort. Danke schön, mein geliebt Herr Händel, und öder Herr Scholl! ❤️
So true....for "They are not long, the weeping and the Laughter...Love, Desire, Hate....I think they have no portion in us once we reach the Gate; They are not long, the days of wine and Roses.....Out of a misty dream our path emerges for a while and then Closes.....within a dream....." Cheers from Acapulco!
I like the pace of this performance and Scholl is superb. I especially like how he ornaments the reprise of the first section. Handel's writing has wonderful contours.
Impeccably sung--I would expect no less from Scholl. I've been a fan for a long time. But Robson is acting him off that stage, and absolutely could match Scholl for musical interest and inventive ornamentation, especially when he was in his prime.
Simplemente no me cuadra el uniforme militar con la voz de contratenor pero es una versión (musicalmente hablando) hermosa e impecable, muy bien dirigida y ejecutada
@@rupertvega-rice4724 When I first discovered the complete production, the singing was so beautiful that I watched the whole thing without having a clue what was going on! It opened up the glorious world of Baroque opera for me, which has been a revelation and also a mainstay through trouble.

@LadyIslay You're right, audio and video not properly synched. It's a pity as the video quality is better than the other version of the same aria posted here on youtube.
What a pity! This is a far better copy than the other version of the Copenhagen production available here. But the lack of properly synchronized audio ruins the whole effect! :(
The beginning dialogues are not at all boring It helps to initiate & leads to this beautiful and challenging aria. Is it possible to get the words of dialog before the actual aria begins?
@@adityapurohit8232 the aria is not challenging at all. Here the words TOLOMEO: Cesare, alla tua destra stende fasci di scettri generosa la sorte. CESARE: Tolomeo, a tante grazie io non so dir, se maggior lume apporti mentre l'uscio del giorno egli diserra il sole in cielo o Tolomeo qui in terra. Ma! sappi, una mal' opra ogni gran lume oscura. ACHILLA (a Tolomeo): Sino al real aspetto egli t'offende. TOLOMEO: Temerario latin! CESARE: So che m'intende. TOLOMEO: Alle stanze reali questi, che miri, t'apriran le porte e a te guida saranno. Empio, tu pur venisti in braccio a morte. CESARE: Scorgo in quel volto un simulato inganno.
David Daniels forever! Better voice, better presentation. Not that this is not very good. Handel arias available I think by Schirmer if you don’t want to buy a whole score but rather a selection of arias to sing. Collection by voice type I think but am remembering.
Sólo para escuchar la música, porque la escenificación resulta muy racista. Afortunadamente, China les está rompiendo el alma a los orgullosos europeos.
It takes all sorts, I suppose. You need to polish up your sense of humour. (I take it you are not denigrating the talents of the greatest countertenor and the greatest operatic actor in the world? Or do you not appreciate the baroque?)
Wunderschön und gesanglich scheinbar (!) federleicht! Auch das Horn ist zu loben!

Sarah Connolly is the best Cesare ever.
Avrò ascoltato questa versione almeno un centinaio di volte e rimane sempre favolosa. Scholl è un dio, mi inchino
This is one of the very best opera productions I have seen - live.
Ha ha the elevating chairs made me laugh. Very good idea :)
Also Andreas Scholl is perfect.
L'idée vient certainement de la scène identique dans le "Dictateur" de Charlie Chaplin... la scène chez le barbier

the best version ever!
Scholl and Robson are perfect in this scene - wonderful production.
If Handel could hear Andreas Scholl performance,he would definitly be dancing in his grave...simply perfect Scholl !
I donnt know... We don't have any comparisson for a real castrato, tough this version is superb
He will say, "i better put a mezzo soprano- contralto to sing my music than a male singing in falsetto."
@@dantegabrielittesor4483 Indeed, as he often did. He wrote for specific singers, and knew their voices well. Those low notes should be the strongest part of the voice.
Ты ДАУН!!!!! ГЕНДЕЛЬ написал эту партию для БАРИТОНА а не для этих Ушлепков как штоль и ему подобные,, Цезарь был мужиком!!!!! Долбоёбы из ЕВРОПЫ!!!!
Merci beaucoup

This music is just so incredibly beautiful... *sigh* :D
Va tacito e nascosto,
quand'avido è di preda,
l'astuto cacciator.
E chi è mal far disposto,
non brama che si veda
l'inganno del suo cor.
Quiet and camouflaged
is the wily hunter,
a predator stalking its prey.
And one that harbors ill intent
isn’t quick to utter
what his heart conceals away.
Beautifully sung. And the look on Tolomeo's face at 6:05 - priceless!
Absolutely wonderful.
Preciosa música del maestro Handel
Christopher Robson is perfect as the hideous Tolemeo. His counter-tenor is a foil to Scholl's glorious vocal tone.
Ah! Robson. What a treat.
I love this song
Apple fan?
Who is the horn player? This is clearly played on natural horn, but soo sooo nicely done as if it were on a modern instrument.
The horn player is the real MVP here.
Actually, it's scene number IX. But it doesn't matter, because the performance is beautiful!!!
Andreas Scholl proved here to be the strongest and clearest of all countertenors alive
Or dead.
brilliant!
Absolut Super!! Brlliant
Impeccably sung--I would expect no less from Scholl. I've been a fan for a long time. But Robson is acting him off that stage, and absolutely could match Scholl for musical interest and inventive ornamentation, especially when he was in his prime.
So right about Chris Robson.
@@davidmartin3468 Hello, fellow Robson admirer!
5 Tolomeos have thumbed down. Scholl is simply perfect.

This is rather good :-)
Rather!? It's superlative!

@@rosemaryallen2128 same situation for me also. But after a repeated listening, this glorious aria took me into trans.
@@rupertvega-rice4724 Very true.
After your experience, i will certainly listen to complete opera.
Andreas Scholl und sein Gegenüber sind perfekt!
Молодцы! Андреас замечательно исполняет!
a voice like a nightingale
good performance.

Who is the horn player?
I'd also like to know. It's virtuoso standard.

this is scene 9

1:12 Start
Scene 9, not 8.
What is the name of the second countertenor (Tolomeo) ? I can't hear him. That's what a tiny voice means.
Christopher Robson. Fabulous countertenor in his day.
Agreed - it's a great shame.
Sarah Connelly
Jeff Ross sings opera….
Jump to 1:45 to skip the boring part

They did it on purpose, because they're afraid of the pitch.
It's always been this way.

une voix minuscule pour un tel personnage ?
Andreas Scholl une voix minuscule ? Mon dieu ... 🙄
Certe nudità andrebbero nascoste, bleah
Tolemeo is supposed to be a repulsive character, and it takes courage to expose yourself to ignorant comments like yours.
christ this is awful!
