Wow. This is utterly sublime. Scholl is the best countertenor I have ever heard👍

what a divine grace and harmony of the voice

[@MartaLopez-st2vw]

Yes! The voice of Andreas Scholl is absolutely beautifull,

[@ramosrosalinda]

I love the artistry and the humour.There's nobody like Scholl!And I agree .the violinist is great.This is the very best DVD of Handel's "Giulio Cesare" Rosalinda Ramos

This captivated my mom when I showed it to her ... :-)

[@Sullabib]

I'm amazed by his voice and ashamed that I didn't know him before though he's a "compatriot" of mine. I sing classical, too and I'm so impressed by the airiness of his voice's sound! Magnificent!

[@LifeforArt]

I agree. The DVD production is musically the finest. The humor is there, too. (Ptolemy shower scene for example).

[@NadiaN495]

divine singing!)

[@MyZenzero]

Che musica!

[@mariaesperanza6548]

Preciosísimo, divino

[@puppetmasterin]

AWESOME!!!! And the staging is aswell awesome!!!

[@palpal5555]

It's absolutely a bird. :) But because Cesare and the bird in hiding keep answering to each other, it can be presented as a kind of rivalry between the voice and the violin. This kind of contests was popular at that age, correct me if I'm wrong. (In the movie Farinelli you can see one between F and a trombone.)

[@palpal5555]

I meant to ask, but then I found the video anyway... :)

[@palpal5555]

It's my favourite part in the whole thing. I love the violinist. (The singer's not bad either...)

[@Guichotpresident]

@tkgsingsct what a cast, what a cast....

[@gwk4657]

I liked your video very much.

[@tkgsingsct]

@Guichotpresident It is Michael Maniaci, in the role of Nireno...

[@vikhamarina842]

a nightingale ))

[@Hamlynhyde]

A great many thanks for sharing this video! It's absolutely superb and great fun too! Do you know if it's available anywhere?

[@tkgsingsct]

That is Michael Maniaci, playing Nireno...

[@veganvamp]

@Angelos1975GR that's a funny comment about HBO, HILARIOUS!

[@GillyWhitfootHaysend]

Love the interplay with the violinist. Very good. Is that violin actually written like that? I ask because I detect a very Scandanavian bowing.

[@Birty00]

If you mean the ornaments she's playing, they are partly written like that but applying some variations for the reprise (da capo). The production - one of my favourites - has been presented in Copenhagen, Denmark - so the Scandinavian traditions are not by any chance, well spotted. :)

[@Guichotpresident]

Is that michael maniaci next to him??

[@LifeforArt]

Andreas Scholl - needless to say something about his great performance. Best violin player too. But i don't love this kind of "modern" productions. Costumes, stage-outfit are strange to me.

[@GillyWhitfootHaysend]

Not as strange as the 2012 Salzburg production, though. What a mess that was.

[@reasonablyserious]

I like Scholl in uniform, but I agree on the rest of it

[@joshhang]

Uh, the only thing I don't like about it is that in Italian lingo Julius Caesar is Giulio Cesare... nothing wrong with any Mr. Giulios and Mr. Cesares alive in Italy, but Julius Caesar is the greatest man in human history whom I adore as god, and being told that he is actually Giulio (I know some Mr. Giulio who are often very earthly and homey) well, it's difficult to get used to it. No offence meant to the fabulous Mr. Scholl, by any chance anyway.

[@Orientaliszt]

Sorry amonasro100, transposing the baroque imbroglio into the contemporary world, is the topic of my critic not Haendel music itself. Jules Cesar opera depict the brother and the sister, Ptolémée and Cléopâtre, quarrel piercingly the Pharaonic power and the favours of the Roman occupant. What we see here is a poor adaptation of the historial context. It is not enough to distribute kalachnikovs to the extras to depict the confrontation in the heart of the Middle East of rival imperialisms.

[@Orientaliszt]

Transposition contemporaine, ou contrefaçon moderniste de Jules César en égypte, treillis de para et keffieh palestinien en prime. Autant la prestation musicale est saisissante, le décor et les costumes ne collent ni avec les faits historiques (50 av JC) ni avec l'époque de création de cet opéra baroque (1736) !
