Giulio Cesare In Egitto (3Pc) / (Sub Dts)

David McVicar's production of Giulio Cesare manages to combine serious insight with entertainment, bringing Handel's masterpieces to life in a powerful, convincing and highly intelligent way. In every line of the complex narrative the subtle nuances are apparent, reflecting perfectly the transparent and exquisite nature of Handel's musical expression. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true surround sound, the outstanding singing of the all-star cast, led superbly by Sarah Connolly, and the vivid playing of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the energizing baton of William Christie reveal the color and dramatic character of Handel's music in a most delightful manner.
