Title: Excellent performance for a masterpiece
Product review: Malgoire shows his great sensibility in this performance of "Giulio Cesare in Egitto". All the singers are very good: first of all James Bowman as Giulio Cesare is able to sing the virtuosistic passages with clearness (I can say it because I have the full score of this opera). I heard other performance of Giulio Cesare to the radio but the countertenors who had the role of Cesare didn't take care to Handel notes. Lynne Dawson (Cleopatra) is the other great protagonist of this cd set: his voice is wonderful and she sings with authentic passion (listen to her in "Se pietà di me non senti" and in "Da tempeste il legno infranto"). Guillemette Laurens as Cornelia and Eirian James as Sesto are very suitable (listen to them in the beautiful duet "Son nata a lagrimar"). Nicholas Rivenq in the two roles of Achilla and Curio is pleasant, too. At the end I can't forget the orchestra that plays very well with bright sounds. So don't hesitate ! Buy it !
