Handel's operatic masterpiece, complete and superbly cast.

Depicting the passionate love affair of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, Giulio Cesare is “among the greatest opera seria creations by any composer” (Viking Opera Guide) and one of Handel’s most sumptuous scores. In this famous recording, “Tatiana Troyanos copes marvellously well with Cleopatra’s essentially soprano part” (Gramophone), while “Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau [as Caesar] has a fine conception of the role (Met Opera Guide).
